datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 01/17/2024 12:37 pm Not that one. The bold FG has a serif on the G. It is the extra metal that points back and the bold FG is also closer to the base of the monument. See this thread as we just discussed this recently and I included photos: http://goccf.com/t/437728#3766859 PCGS recognizes that variety as the "1988 Wide AM FS-901" which has a different alternate reverse (from 1989) on both the Philadelphia and Denver mints than the standard 1988 reverse in the variety version so there are several differences on the reverse to look for but typically identified easier from the FG initials on the reverse. You can take a look at the census for each coin on PCGS and NGC to see how many have been graded overall but the Philadelphia issues are considered scarce while the Denver issues are considered rare. https://www.error-ref.com/transitio...rse-of-1989/ Report this Post to the Staff
