Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 01/20/2017 2:30 pm I found this and noticed the designers initials was missing. It looks like the F was starting to form, But it's wavy and not square as it should be. Thanks for looking and all advice is greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/20/2017 2:40 pm Actually 'FG' was strong as normal when the die was fresh. When the die was over polished many times then the fields were getting reduced and the letters were eventually polished away. (they are not as deep as other devices) An altered die issue. They were there, but when your coin was struck, they were gone at that point. This was probably a RPD-005/ I've not seen a worn RPD-006 on a 1988 coin. They were used to finish that years coins. Was probably still being used in 1989 cent coinage. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 01/20/2017 6:42 pm Good eye to see that Newbie. 1988 is certainly a good year to check designer initials. I guess you were looking for a Reverse Design Variety? Report this Post to the Staff
Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 01/20/2017 6:58 pm Yes, I was looking for the transitional to be exact! This has to catch ones eye! Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 01/20/2017 7:27 pm Yes I thought you probably were. This one is kind of neat, but in my opinion has no value because not all of the design is missing. I found an 006 once, that's definitely the one to look for. Report this Post to the Staff
