Emanuel, Wide AM for 1988 is normal. I believe all circulation strike Lincoln memorial cents had a Wide AM reverse until 1993, when they started a Close AM design. The initials also indicate that it is the normal strike, and not the reverse of 1989. The transitional die reverse shows serifs on the G of the designer's initials. Here's a link to pictures of the normal and transitional reverses: http://www.doubleddie.com/278743.html
I'm not sure what you're highlighting with the yellow arrows, but I think I see some Machine Doubling on AMERICA.
