3388bknb Valued Member United States 116 Posts	Posted 06/21/2023 4:37 pm Thank you for checking my post ! Hoping for input on this 1988D penny.I've read the reverse Wide AM is a little more hard to find? But also notably present to me on the reverse word America appears double struck?. I did the best I could on pictures. I'm still trying to produce better pics over all. Thanks so much. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 98463 Posts	Posted 06/21/2023 4:42 pm a WAM is normal for this year, What I think that you are looking for the 88 with the reverse of an 89 and it is the FG that is key to knowing what it is. Please post up a good clear image of the FG initials. https://www.error-ref.com/transitio...rse-of-1989/ Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Dearborn Moderator United States 98463 Posts	Posted 06/22/2023 07:36 am Thanks for the FG image - not very good, but good enough to see that the 'G' has the horizontal crosslet, and the vertical part of the G is out of line with the top of it. So Think that you have a keeper here. It appears that it has the reverse of the 1989, which makes this a 'transitional cent'. any chance you can get us an image that is in focus? look at this: https://www.error-ref.com/transitio...rse-of-1989/ Collecting since 1972.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6599 Posts	Posted 06/22/2023 5:40 pm One thing to keep in mind: phones and tablets probably work better if you get the coin in focus, digital zoom a little closer, then snap the picture. You can always crop a bigger picture to a small feature. Whatever you did earlier to get this picture of a Roosevelt dime mint mark worked pretty well: http://goccf.com/t/448239#3866765 Report this Post to the Staff
