Nice! Slight mid-aligned Die. Great find. Especially from a bank roll. And for @BKBriggs:
Mis-aligned die, cherrypicker's guide listing FS-901, Reverse Die Variety 006.

BKBriggs, MAD means Misaligned Die, 88 is the year, D stands for the Denver mint and RDV mean Reverse Die Variety. FS-901 is the attribution class that has been given to these particular cents, the 1988 and 1989 D transitional cents with the reverse of the 1989 cents.

Nice find! I have yet to find one of these and I have searched 1,000+ 1988's from circulated bank rolls. One thing I find strange is people generally say the Denver version is harder to find but according to Wexler this is not the case: "1 in every 870 P-Mint 1988 Lincoln cents will have the transitional reverse design making them quite scarce." http://doubleddie.com/278722.html"Some quick math tells us that approximately 1 in every 478 1988-D Lincoln cents will have the transitional reverse design making them quite scarce, but a little easier to find than their P-Mint counterparts." http://doubleddie.com/278743.html |

The Denver version goes four up to four times as much as the Philly version. There is one 88 D on ebay and the asking price is $1,250.00. I have seen some pretty good 88's with the same grade "62" go between $175-$300. The Philly version is considered scarce and the Denver version rare. Edited by Jim0815

Jim0815, that's what I don't understand. Either Wexler is wrong or people are just conditioned to pay more for a Denver variety.
Based on Wexler's figures:
P Mintage: 6,092,810,000 if 1 in 870 were errors = 7,003,230
D Mintage: 5,253,740,443 if 1 in 478 were errors = 10,991,089
The Philly should be commanding the higher price, shouldn't it?

Wexler's site is the only site that I am aware of that claims the Philly version is more rare. Every other site tells it differently. It's not that people are conditioned to pay more for the Denver version it's just that there are four times more 88 P's found than the Denver version. Those type of numbers speak to the price difference. Harley 1960 has said he has found a lot of the 88 P's but he hasn't found the 88 D yet.

I just hope to find one, lol
I said the same, maybe that's just how they survived... or maybe more people on the east coast keep penny jars. I don't know.
But check out the grading figures. Again, I'm stumped.
As of December 2018:
Total 1988 FS-901 (Philly & Denver) graded variety cents in both PCGS & NGC catalog = 69
Philadelphia = 35
Denver = 34
Highest Denver grade 67Red (4 coins)
Highest Philly grade 67Red (1 coin)

I feel something is wrong with the hub setup in Philly. Thus more variety coins are struck. Denver varieties are fewer because of newer equipment.
