hankp1 Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 11/07/2025 3:23 pm is the reverse a 1989? Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 11/07/2025 4:04 pm It's hard to say definitively from those photos. My gut feel is that the bar of the G does not protrude far enough beneath the overhang, and there is no flared hook on the upright base. But others here know far more about the diagnostics for a 1988 Flared G cent. https://doubleddie.com/58348.html Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73795 Posts	Posted 11/07/2025 4:37 pm I'd say no. Not seeing the flare on the G. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 11/07/2025 4:38 pm That is a normal 1988 Reverse. Note the lack of a serif on the G Edited by JimmyD 11/07/2025 4:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95018 Posts	Posted 11/07/2025 5:13 pm Have to agree with above. But please try to crop your images better so we don't have so much background to stare at.

Error-Eric Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 11/09/2025 04:31 am The F isn't close enough to the base and the bottom of G isn't sticking out far enough. Agree with others normal 1988 Edited by Error-Eric 11/09/2025 04:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
