<p>[QUOTE="jay4202472000, post: 2834240, member: 42573"]The reason you are confused is, for some reason, the Cherrypicker's Guide decided to call the 1988 with reverse of 1989 a "Wide AM". As has been stated a few times, every 1988 struck, the normal ones and the transitional reverse design variety, have a wide gap between the A and M. They should never be referred to as a "Wide AM".
