wow! Great job, I've been looking all over for one of these! Is the large FG on both the 1988 and the 1988D?

That appears to be the 1988 D RDV-006. Congratulations. I've only ever seen the 1988 P RDV-006. I've never seen the Denver version. Welcome to the club.
I cannot speculate as to grade or value.

That is DEFINITELY the '89 version of the FG. I've turned over hundreds of these without any luck(however, I havent been even checking the Denver ones, D'oh!)the Strike it Rich has it listed for EF at $45 to AU at $180 although I have no clue on actual market value. No sign of them in completed listings on the bay either.

That is a really really nice find. I can't tell you how many thousands of these I've checked!
Your coin is in really nice shape - I'd say at least AU-55 and likely MS. I think this could be a 4 figure coin, but I am not sure. Good job!

I've seen the 1988 P RDV-006 sell for between $50-$87 on ebay. I've never seen a 1988 D anywhere. |

Definitely an RDV-006...I've never seen one sold so who knows about pricing...maybe Scooby,I think he has one.

4 figures? I think that's a bit much although there does only seems to be the Philly mint version for precedent. I guess it's possible, seems very high though. I would hold onto it and research.

Wow, John! The 88-D is a very scarce coin....very scarce. Last month I bought two different BU 88-P RDVs for $60-80 on ebay. I can't recall seeing an 88-D RDV that sold, but I don't have time to see everything. I've got plans to meet Wolf-N-WA at a show this weekend, he's got an 88-D that we're going to do some business together over. SO, I don't can't tell you anything concrete, but his is circulated and I expect to pay just a little south of $100 for it. Your coin appears to be a brown mint state example- I wouldn't be comfortable sticking an exact price range on it, but if a offered it to me, I'd expect to pay $150-175. FYI- Full red specimens of BOTH mints are each proportionately rare. I'd estimate that for the philly, there's probably 1 BU Red for every 100 brown and red brown examples. It seems that the vast majority of the population of this coin went into circulation. Very cool coin, thanks so much for sharing! |

Nice score John!  Like so many others here, I see the Philly's up for sale, but have yet to see the Denver coin establish a real price. So, I'm going to hold onto mine! I'm fortunate enough to have one each. |

Right on yours has the same markers as mine, inside the ear there is 4 die marks, your FG is strong and its a good solid AU-58 with no coin star kisses. I will trade you an 2004D DR 901 for that baby. Ahhh shucks I didn't think you would.
As I mentoned in my posting greatcollections has an auction archive menu and you can easily bring up the 1988 and 1988D RDV's. The 88's hammered 150-225 for MS64 RB and the 1988D's in MS 62, 64 RB hammered at low $400ish. With buyers fees about 450 each.
The 88D from the Blackbird collection in MS64 sold at $374 in March 2017. An MS64 Red is currently opened at $900 with no bidders as yet.
It appears the coins are establishing prices somewhat consistently and that's great news for forum members who have found them. In buying all I can find but their tricky finding.
OK I will trade you a 1960 D RPM and a hundred bucks (smile). Good job and lets go for the 92 CAM next.
