eagle2a1 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 6:12 pm Attached are a couple photos of this 1988 Lincoln Memorial penny possibly showing the Flared G variety. Do I need better glasses or does it seem true? Rock On community and thanks much. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8733 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 7:05 pm There is nothing wrong with the OP's pics. You can easily tell it is not the flared G. eagle2a1, you will get all kinds of different answers as how to tell but in my opinion, all you have to do is see if the bottom of the serif comes out past the top, yours does not, it's even. They are still out there, keep searching. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

eagle2a1 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 9:11 pm Thank you to Makecents. Excellent way of recognizing with your pictures. Rock On to all and I'll keep the reading glasses handy for checking pictures more closely. Report this Post to the Staff
