I usually wouldn't bother with a coin in this condition (but) it's a 1989. So I had to flip it just to see. Ouch reverse is worse. This is the 3rd one I've found in last six months. It's the best condition of all three. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95805 Posts	Posted 04/24/2022 9:23 pm Are you asking if this coin is a 1989 with the reverse of a 1988? Collecting since 1972.

RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 04/25/2022 07:20 am Thanks @makecents. I had it backwards. @makecents that explains it pretty good. I see the FG is closer to the memorial on 006 also. Please correct me if I'm still off. Thanks to everyone for the help. Edited by RobO411 04/25/2022 08:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8748 Posts	Posted 04/25/2022 6:04 pm Rob, if it is closer, it's negligible. Your example does look a little closer but would just say it's due to a worn out die and mushy devices. If you look at the examples of VV's, I don't see a lot of difference in distance. You may be thinking of CLAMs and WAMs, you can see differences in the closeness in those transitional varieties.
