Dearborn Moderator United States 98637 Posts	Posted 06/19/2023 11:25 am Yes, a WAM is normal for the 1988 cent. And the rims are tall and wide for a reason, To protect the interior design elements from excessive wear when they are slid around on flat surfaces like a table or check-out counter. Of course the rim will not protect from handling with fingers though. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 06/19/2023 3:28 pm I think the op is asking about the 88 with 89 reverse. Need to see a close in focus pic of the FG. I don't think it is but I'll wait for better pics. For some reason WAM and CAM has been connected with this wrong reverse, and shouldn't be. Report this Post to the Staff
Cointree Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 06/19/2023 3:47 pm with Cujohn. FG is key, but I'd say no go without better closeups. Report this Post to the Staff
