CentSation: Not bragging,just wanted to show that I know what I was talking about because I have them in hand. -makecents- ;I am not sure if I have the die # noted or not. The Denver ones are rarer I know. John1  ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion )

@centstation. My post showing my coin was to help the OP see what the RDV-006 looks like. My reply to John1 was written to show how blessed I was to have found three Denver versions. I gave two of those away.

Jim, You gave away 2 Denver minted ones? Very gracious of you.We need more members like you. I for one do not think I brag about my finds. I have done a lot of researching and learning on what to look for and when I find something really nice, I am proud that I knew enough to keep it. I have found tons of keepers and only a hand full that I am extra proud of finding...just sayin' John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion )

The "WIDE A M" designation, with the 88 transitional coins, refers to the difference in the thickness and shape of the font, between 88 and 89 and in my opinion, probably should not be referred to as such, it's confusing for many. Here is a pic from VV, look at the difference in the size of the font between the two and hopefully, you will understand.

I know this. But the problem it is come some how from the testing and not from transition. You are wright of what you show, but what really it is considered transition?

A transitional variety is when you have an obverse or reverse that improperly paired with an incorrect year, of an opposing die. In this case, it's when you have an 88 obverse paired with an 89 reverse, which should not have happened and the 89 reverse (RDV-006), has thicker font and a flared G. The confusion comes from the Wide AM reference, which most folks think of with the 98, 99 and 2000 dies, where the distance between the A and the M is wider than it should be. That is not what is going on with the 88 transitional variety.
