I found this 1988 D LMC that might be RDV-006 as the FG looks exactly like one that I have that is a 1989. I need expert confirmation. Thanks so much for your help :)

That is the normal reverse for an 88, not what you are looking for.

That looks to me like RDV-005 and not RDV-006. 005 is the one you would expect for 1988 so nothing rare here.

I'm still confused about all these rdv's on the 88
I understand, to some extent, there are certain varieties and errors that still mess with me, but this is not one of them. What don't you get about it?

This is what confuses me, I have a 1989 that looks nearly identical to this one. At first I thought that I might have a 1989 with an RDV-005 reverse.

Both have bad zincoln issues. That, in itself is an issue and makes it hard to make a call on it. In my opinion, the pics you have here, are labeled correctly for the reverse that is normal for each of them. I have come to the conclusion, after looking at several thousand of the 88's, if you have to look at it for more than 2 seconds, and question it, it is not the transitional variety you are looking for and I toss it.

I don't know that I would toss it just yet. If you wanted to, for a couple of bucks you can have it attributed. There might be something to this Cent. The M looks heavier than the M on the RDV-005. But the again it could be just the lighting from the pics. Interesting Cent.

If there is die wear on the strike, it is not a RDV-006. These were used for a short time and didn't get worn to look like that. If you check the AME on On America, you will see that these devices are rounded (RDV-005) and the RDV-006 show wider devices on that area.

This area will answer the question for sure. Rounded devices, RDV-005.

Please no screen shots. They are too pixelated to be of use.
