Can any of you verify? I think it must be, but a Lincoln expert I am not.

I think the whole wide A M and close AM started in 1992. Yours should be wide.
I thought so too, but saw this in the PCGS price guide. I can tell no difference in any pics I've found.

Our friends across the street list it as Rev of 89.
There is a change in the initials, "FG." Very minor change starting in 1989, but a few dies were prepared in 1988 using the new design. The whole wide AM thing started in 1998, using dies that were meant for the proof versions.
In 1992, another variant, the "Close AM" was produced using dies prepared for the 1993 cents. Still considered "rare," but not nearly as coveted as a few years ago. As I recall, a couple sold for $20k in mint state.
