CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/05/2019 9:14 pm Is this RDV-006, or a worn example of 005? Any help isn't appreciated! Happy hunting Edit:after closer examination, it's not RDV-006. Just a badly circulated 005. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvience. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 01/05/2019 9:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not questioning it, just hoping to understand your thinking. Thx!

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/05/2019 10:09 pm With the coin in hand, in the right lighting, the bar on the G is not visible. That is mainly what led me to believe it was a normal RDV-005. -CH27 Also note the location of the 1988 FG, and the top curl of the G is different than the 1989. 1988 1989 (picture taken by John A.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/06/2019 07:17 am Keep in mind the difference on the 005 is worn because the dies were going through extreme wear. Thus the need to start earlier on the 006 dies in 1988. All the RDV-006 dies coins I've seen this year are fresher die examples. In 1989, we start to see worn examples as the dies were aging. So we should realize that they are just examples of die aging on the 1989 examples. The RDV-005 were retired in 1988 to start with the new RDV-006 dies. Report this Post to the Staff
