Here's the coinfacts link, I know price guides are usually off, but there is no record of a full red example ever being offered for sale. The highest graded example at 66 RD had offers of $800 declined. http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/569369So is it worth it? The most recent certified example sold ANACS AU-55BN for $27. I found one graded 64RB that sold in July for $108. Almost all are graded in BN, 10 in RB, and 16 in full red. Thoughts?

Nice find! If it's indeed in MS BU condition, it would be worth getting it graded, in my opinion.

Yep RDV is Reverse Design Variety. RDV-006 in full red on a 1988 is an extreme rarity. Only 16 and the best graded is a 67. Apparently a registry collector offered 2.5K and got turned down.

UPDATEI decided after some dileberation to get this graded by NGC (I prefer their slabs) and it was marked recived friday. I'll post grades when they're live. I expect somewhere around MS-64RD. It looks amazing in hand.
