-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8781 Posts	Posted 12/14/2025 09:19 am Quote: Oh, and I looked at the placement of the mint mark, which immediately eliminated a couple dies. Including VV die 1 That's what I was looking for. That just helps get rid of many of the listings. Wexler didn't show the mm placement on all of them, which I never understood, but you can get it down to just a few by doing this. So you have 2 and 3 on VV and maybe 8, 9 and 12 on Wexler (these may be crossover listing too). It is an uphill battle though, between it being a zincoln and most of the markers being really small. I only did one side by side that looks really close, yours with Wexler's die 8. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Durwood Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 12/14/2025 10:26 am The full reverse pic is of a regular '88 cent. I enlarged it and it's not a flared G. Report this Post to the Staff

Guess it means I'm starting to learn a little from everyone here! Realized I hadn't added that to my first response. Now you've made it, that it'll drive me nuts for a while. Guess I'll have to look again later! Edited by snailking1 12/14/2025 10:43 am Report this Post to the Staff
Durwood Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 12/14/2025 10:41 am When I zoomed in on the full reverse pic it looks like a regular G. It may not be the pic may be too grainy to be sure. Report this Post to the Staff
snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1349 Posts	Posted 12/14/2025 10:44 am Durwwod, Really don't understand needing to zoom in on full pic - I included 2 close-ups. Unless you're inferring that the pics are from 2 different coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97160 Posts	Posted 12/14/2025 3:11 pm Nice work on the attributions so far Snailking (at the prompting with Makecents help) And This is quite clearly a flared G on this cent.

snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1349 Posts	Posted 12/14/2025 4:02 pm Thank You, Dearborn I appreciate everyone's help and "prompting" It definitely has all helped lead me to looking for answers myself first, then asking for help second. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6548 Posts	Posted 12/14/2025 4:55 pm One of the worst bosses that I ever had once said to me, "Never ask a customer a question that you could have answered yourself." That idea has stuck with me for thirty years and served me well. Most of the other things he said were hot garbage, though. Edited by Brandmeister 12/14/2025 4:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
