Thanks SamCoin I'm happy having found at least the 005 that itself has me happy!

Yeah, some hard to verify coin variety's need verification markers as long as they aren't worn off from circulation - But a 1988 P/D RDV 005/006 isn't - just check out the FG initials!
I'm surprised nobody sent you a graphic to show the difference......

@JJC314 I think you might be a little confused... All 1988 Lincoln cents are either RDV-005 or RDV-006 with the vast, vast majority being RDV-005. "finding" one of these just means you found a 1988 Lincoln Cent. Edit: And here's a link to the infographic and variety description Rothery alluded to. http://www.error-ref.com/transition...rse-of-1989/Edited by SamCoin

No need for more pictures, JJC. The coin is just a normal 1988-D LMC. |

Ok now I'm confused SamCoin, this is a doubled die correct? I check the list of doubled dies on wexler's and Variety Vista. So I guess, my question is, is this a doubled die ?

On the tops of the initials that is coin rub. If it we a doubled die the width would give it away. Your looking in the right area, but not looking for enlarged devices.

Yes, you seem to be a little confused lol. RDV = reverse design variety. Your question was asking if this is the so called "reverse of 89" die variety, which is a transitional die variety, not a doubled die. The coneca listings for a doubled die would begin either DDO (doubled die obverse) or DDR (doubled die reverse). RDV is a completely different type of variety. Edited by SamCoin

Two things give it away: The AME area:  Also the shape of the 'G'  Note the brown line behind of the 'G' Also the 'FG' is weak, it is a RDV-005. The RDV-006 are strong initials as the dies were not worn while there were used for a short time. Edited by coop

Well it is not published information. So your getting what I see as different on these dies. I like to give a quick study to the ones who come here. (I look closer to see what changed between the different RDV's)

This coin has been evading me. Was bout to get jealous. Some circulation, and worn on that area make it hard to see if the G has serifs. Usually I can see turning the coin to different angles. As mentioned Samcoin just recently found one. Great find it was, and I cant wait to find mine. Hope I get excited like I did with the 1960 D RPM-001. Hope you find it.
