In 1989 the Mint modified the design on the reverse of the Lincoln Memorial cents creating the 6th Memorial reverse design for the Memorial cent series. In the Wexler Die Variety Files we identify this reverse as Lincoln Memorial Reverse Design #6 (LMRD-006). CONECA identifies this Memorial reverse design as RDV-006. LMRD-006 was used on the Lincoln Memorial cents from 1989 through 1992 where it was used on all circulation strike and all proof cents for those years. It was also used for proof Lincoln cents struck from 1994 through 2008. The normal reverse for the 1988 Lincoln cents was used on all circulation strike and all proof cents from 1986 through 1988. We identify this reverse design as LMRD-005 (CONECA RDV-005). While there are subtle differences throughout the entire reverse between the design used in 1988 (LMRD-005) and the modified design introduced in 1989 (LMRD-006), the easiest place to spot the difference is on the designer’s initials. The new modified 1989 design has a distinct serif at the top left side of the vertical bar of the G in FG where the 1988 design does not have this serif. On the modified 1989 design the vertical bar of the G in FG extends down below the lower right curve of the G. It does not do that on the 1988 design.

In the Wexler Die Variety Files we identify this reverse as Lincoln Memorial Reverse Design #6 (LMRD-006). CONECA identifies this Memorial reverse design as RDV-006. LMRD-006 was used on the Lincoln Memorial cents from 1989 through 1992 where it was used on all circulation strike and all proof cents for those years. It was also used for proof Lincoln cents struck from 1994 through 2008. The normal reverse for the 1988 Lincoln cents was used on all circulation strike and all proof cents from 1986 through 1988. We identify this reverse design as LMRD-005 (CONECA RDV-005). While there are subtle differences throughout the entire reverse between the design used in 1988 (LMRD-005) and the modified design introduced in 1989 (LMRD-006), the easiest place to spot the difference is on the designer’s initials. The new modified 1989 design has a distinct serif at the top left side of the vertical bar of the G in FG where the 1988 design does not have this serif. On the modified 1989 design the vertical bar of the G in FG extends down below the lower right curve of the G. It does not do that on the 1988 design.

This is the AM in AMERICA on the reverse design identified as LMRD-007 which was introduced in 1993. There is virtually no separation between the bottoms of the A and M in AMERICA. It has frequently been referred to as the “Close AM” reverse. Like all of the previous Lincoln Memorial reverse designs, LMRD-007 was used in 1993 for both the circulation strike cents and for the proof strike cents. However, in 1994 the Mint decided that it would no longer use LMRD-007 for the proof cents and reserved that design for the circulation strike cents struck from 1994 through 2008. For the proof cents, the Mint went back to the LMRD-006 design. LMRD-006 was then used for the proof cents struck from 1994 through 2008. This set the stage for the discovery by Maximillian Lucas of a 2000 circulation strike Lincoln cent with the LMRD-006 proof design. Because the easiest way to spot the proof design on the circulation strike coins was the separation between the bottoms of the A and M in AMERICA, it quickly became known as the 2000 "Wide AM" Lincoln cent variety. The normal 2000 circulation strike coins were referred to as the "Close AM" variety. The find quickly sent collectors hunting through their Lincoln Memorial cents for this variety, and possibly for similar varieties on other dates. It didn't take long for examples to turn up on 1998 dated Lincoln Memorial cents and also on 1999 dated Lincoln Memorial cents. In the Wexler Die Variety Files we have maintained a file on the different working dies affected for those years. Our purpose in doing so was simply to get an idea of how scarce the varieties were for each of the three years (1998, 1999, and 2000). To date we have 31 different circulation strike working dies identified for the 1998 "Wide AM" cents, 4 different circulation strike working dies identified for the 1999 "Wide AM" cents, and 23 different circulation strike working dies identified for the 2000 "Wide AM" cents. Clearly the 1999 "Wide AM" cents are the most difficult to find and command the greatest premiums. To make things even more interesting, over a period of time collectors eventually found 1998-S and 1999-S proof cents with the circulation strike "Close AM" design. Only 1 working die for each has been identified making them extremely rare since the average life of a Lincoln cent proof die is about 3,000 coins.

As part of an innovative major PR campaign, in 2000, the United States Mint teamed up with processed food manufacturer General Mills. In addition to the millions of dollars spent on TV ads and other activities, the Mint delivered 10 million Lincoln cents and 5,500 of the new Sacagawea golden dollar coins to the company, which were then inserted into boxes of Cheerios cereal. Each specially-marked box contained one Lincoln cent, which was advertised as being one of the “First Pennies of the New Millennium.” Every 2,000th box included a cent and one of the new Sacagawea dollars, while every 4,400th box had a certificate redeemable for $100 to be paid out in Sacagawea dollars. Given the inclusion of the rare “Cheerios Dollar” variety, the luckier cereal buyer was the one who received the single dollar coin. Each of the newly labeled “Cheerios” cents was encapsulated in a plastic blister pack mounted on a black cardboard card. The card was decorated with images of the date, Sacagawea dollars, and Lincoln cents. Interestingly, while all of the cents issued for this campaign were struck by the Philadelphia Mint, the illustrations on the card are all of “S” coins struck at San Francisco. While NGC uses the designation “Cheerios Promotion” for the Lincoln cent, and PCGS labels them as a Minor Variety, most of the coins are nothing more than ordinary 2000-dated Philadelphia cents. In fact, the only way to differentiate them is the promotional packaging. Therefore, while the third-party grading companies do have a special designation “Cheerios” cents and dollars, the coins must be submitted sealed inside the original packaging to qualify. According to writer Richard Giedroyc, around one million or 10% of the “Cheerios” cents can be identified as Wide AM Reversevarieties, with the letters “AM” in “AMERICA” placed farther apart than the standard type. This means that these coins were struck using a Proof reverse die. However, in order to identify this variety, the coin would need to be removed from the original packaging and would therefore not be eligible to receive the “Cheerios Promotion” designation.

This is the AM in AMERICA on the reverse design identified as LMRD-007 which was introduced in 1993. There is virtually no separation between the bottoms of the A and M in AMERICA. It has frequently been referred to as the “Close AM” reverse. Like all of the previous Lincoln Memorial reverse designs, LMRD-007 was used in 1993 for both the circulation strike cents and for the proof strike cents. However, in 1994 the Mint decided that it would no longer use LMRD-007 for the proof cents and reserved that design for the circulation strike cents struck from 1994 through 2008. For the proof cents, the Mint went back to the LMRD-006 design. LMRD-006 was then used for the proof cents struck from 1994 through 2008. This set the stage for the discovery by Maximillian Lucas of a 2000 circulation strike Lincoln cent with the LMRD-006 proof design. Because the easiest way to spot the proof design on the circulation strike coins was the separation between the bottoms of the A and M in AMERICA, it quickly became known as the 2000 "Wide AM" Lincoln cent variety. The normal 2000 circulation strike coins were referred to as the "Close AM" variety. The find quickly sent collectors hunting through their Lincoln Memorial cents for this variety, and possibly for similar varieties on other dates. It didn't take long for examples to turn up on 1998 dated Lincoln Memorial cents and also on 1999 dated Lincoln Memorial cents. In the Wexler Die Variety Files we have maintained a file on the different working dies affected for those years. Our purpose in doing so was simply to get an idea of how scarce the varieties were for each of the three years (1998, 1999, and 2000). To date we have 31 different circulation strike working dies identified for the 1998 "Wide AM" cents, 4 different circulation strike working dies identified for the 1999 "Wide AM" cents, and 23 different circulation strike working dies identified for the 2000 "Wide AM" cents. Clearly the 1999 "Wide AM" cents are the most difficult to find and command the greatest premiums. To make things even more interesting, over a period of time collectors eventually found 1998-S and 1999-S proof cents with the circulation strike "Close AM" design. Only 1 working die for each has been identified making them extremely rare since the average life of a Lincoln cent proof die is about 3,000 coins.
