Hi All, think I have the right ones now. Is this a 1988, with the reverse of a 1989?

Hi Every One, Sorry for misunderstanding . I'm a dummy when it comes to computers and the rest of my pics and comments were lost out their some where.Been home hr. just got working.Now I have an 1989, which I think has the reverse intended for the old 1988 cent. The only difference that I no of, which is shown in Mr. Potters book on pockedchange, is the F.G. on reverse. On the 88, they look weakly designed. on the 89, they look boulder to me .Thanks..

Hello Again, I am still confused as to what I have here. The 1988 looks to have the reverse with the FG intended for the 1989.The 1989 coin i'm not sure if it has the correct reverse for it? Thanks...

Transitionals have been found on the 1988 and 1989. The G's right vertical bar is typically the identifier.
