The images of the FG, give me a headache. But I does appear to be a 006 from the better image.
1988-P-Transitional-Reverse?
There is another way to check and that is on the AME area:
1988-P-Transitional-Reverse?
Note the rounded and flattened devices on these devices. The 006 also show a wider design.
Variety Vista lists 7 Philly ones and 6 Denver ones:

So they happened at both mints.

Thanks coop for the welcome and the comparison. Yes, I know the FGs are blurry. I wouldn't mind some advice (from whoever wants to give it) on the best camera or microscope set up (at a reasonable price) for taking good detailed closeup shots -- especially because many of the coins I may eventually want to bring up for discussion will involve mint marks or similarly small areas on the coin. But maybe this is something I should post as a separate discussion?

Right now I'm using my cell phone to take the pictures.

You're doing rather well. The 30-60x shots are a challenge and it takes time and patience to get those sharp. I've had success using an inexpensive microscope at 20x and snapping a shot with my iPhone using one of the eye pieces.

Thanks, I found that putting the cell phone on a stack of books to keep it steady as suggested in the tutorial works quite well. But for the more closeup detailed shots, I'm going to give the microscope idea you suggest a try. Thanks for suggestion.
