    oh boy I'm excited, the pictures are really blurry,, but I'm again almost sure I have 2 of them here is the one my daughter found not a minute after I found that one.

    good morning, my camera is really crappy, but the one on the bottom of the example is definitely close to the one(s) I have, there are both lines horizontal and vertical on the G's I'll work on better pictures to show it clearly, thank you

    I'm sorry, but both are the normal design. And get rid of that stupid wide am designation. I don't understand why they call it that. Both varieties have the wide am.

    enamel7,
    as for that stupid wide am designation, that is what it was described as on the YouTube video from coin-op, which I uploaded to a thread on Nov 7th.I did try to edit the name of the thread and was unable to do.as I also said my camera is crappy, but for the pictures I have posted, I guess the trained eye, experienced person is able to identify what I'm showing, attached is a pic that you may see where the G is from the 89 reverse.

    Maybe it's the pic, but I see the end of the top of the G, just like the one I just typed, forms a straight line down to the crossbar. That is the 005.
