Bill Kerr Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 01/26/2025 12:06 pm Guys I know that the coin of this vintage should be a wide "AM" but this coin seems to be wider, yes? * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's essential to have it in the title. * Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 01/26/2025 12:14 pm Agree, Wide AM is normal for a 1989 and the lettering is just from a worn die. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 01/26/2025 12:21 pm The letters do seem unusually thin, which I think gives the impression that the AM gap is bigger than the typical cent. I did find a few examples with thinner lettering, so it is not out of the question: https://www.pcgs.com/cert/81811925 I think the real question would be, what does the FG look like?

luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 01/26/2025 3:12 pm The FG looks like its flared on your coin and correct position for the RDV 006 but to be sure post a much better closeup of the FG. Whoops! no wonder I see flared G you posted a 1989 D with normal reverse of 1989 my mistake. Edited by luvmyCAM 01/26/2025 3:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95018 Posts	Posted 01/26/2025 5:04 pm I fixed the title to reflect a 1989 date vs a 1988... Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
