Hi All,
I have a 1988 Lincoln Penny without mint mark and found some anomalies on reverse. Appreciate your comments on what errors on the images below and how much would be the price for this coin. Thanks..

Normal RDV-005 with die polishing on the bays and very heavy machine damage on the devices and building. side steps with die scratches coming off the right side. (note the two lines on the right side are not parallel)

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.

I joined a group in facebook and someone posted that the details in yellow arrows are microshift. Do you have any idea about microshift error?

To the CCF!

I agree it looks like MD to me.

On another note, those are some great pictures. Well done
