    There's ways to tell if you have a flared G without looking at the AM .
    Take a look at the arrows I posted .

    Now lets do a 1998-S and the 1999-S Proof Lincoln Cent .
    The proofs for this year come with a Wide AM and the Flared G
    ( Proof Reverse ) . This one I own came with a Close AM and the Straight G ( Business Strike ) .

    What he's saying is photo of the coin is a close am. I believe the discussion about the 98,99 and 2000 should be separate from that of 92 and 88. That's where confusion sets in. The OP never stated what date the coin was, then there is even more confusion.
