levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 3:59 pm Good day all, Besides the "FG" are there any other letters that give away that this coin is a WAM? In a previous posting the "A" in America was mentioned. What would I be looking for in that "A"? Also, first or last "A"? thanks for any info Edited by levelsofmadnes 02/23/2019 4:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74533 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 4:10 pm The " Wide AM" thing on the 1988's RDV-006 is kind of a misnomer. It's really the FG initials you need to look for. Although on the RDV-006, there's a very slight differences in the "AM" of "AMERICA". The A is slightly spaced farther on the RDV-006 than on the RDV-005. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 4:15 pm Thanks for the info... Time to go find me an RDV-005 (which shouldn't be hard) and do a comparison. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74533 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 4:19 pm You're very welcome. And very nice find by the way! You do indeed have the 1988 RDV-006. I have actually found 2 of them, but traded one in a trade with Jim0815. I now have one in etheir high AU condition or in a low Mint State grade. Errers and Varietys.
