    FG initials is what you are asking about? Yours appears normal. PCGS says there is a "flared G" and a regular G. Yours is not the flared type initial.

    Not a Flared G. Keep looking.

    Here's a Flared G:

    Per the NGC website: Diagnostics
    Letter "G" in the designer's initials has a vertical stroke that projects downward below the letter's curved bottom.

    How special/collectible are the flared initials?

  • emeraldATVemeraldATV Posts: 4,631 ✭✭✭✭✭

    There are several collectible / rare cents that are determined by the designer int. (FG).
    Researching will show you how to tell the difference of the two styles.
    I hate typing .
    Cool

    Don't forget to look for other 88 no mint errors . I concur it's just your common run of the mill G
