Yellzaboff Valued Member United States 189 Posts	Posted 07/17/2018 10:43 pm Found this coin in a roll of nothing but 1988 D cents. This is only the Fifth one I have looked at and already found one. Maybe it was missed or someone's grandson cashed the roll in and could possibly be alot more... Report this Post to the Staff

luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 07/18/2018 12:54 am Yezalboff your pictures are pretty rough but I think coop is right in that from what's seen you have the 1988 D FS-901 RDV-006. If so you got a dandy there. I have an 88 D RDV- 005 I misidentified as an RDV-006 due to die chip or something which made the G appear tailed or flared. The test that proved I was incorrect was the distance of F from corner of building. The strength of the flared G varies significantly between the known dies for both Philly and Denver examples so although some are thinner and not as thick all are alike in the G being clearly flared and the F being very close to building. Compare your example to a normal reverse and the difference is drastic. Your 88 D is a major find congratulations savor it. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/18/2018 12:57 am The reason some are thinner is because of die polishing. They are both the same die. Polishing thins the devices because they are tapered at the top. Report this Post to the Staff
