Nice! Slight mid-aligned Die. Great find. Especially from a bank roll. And for @BKBriggs:
Mis-aligned die, cherrypicker's guide listing FS-901, Reverse Die Variety 006.

BKBriggs, MAD means Misaligned Die, 88 is the year, D stands for the Denver mint and RDV mean Reverse Die Variety. FS-901 is the attribution class that has been given to these particular cents, the 1988 and 1989 D transitional cents with the reverse of the 1989 cents.

Nice find! I have yet to find one of these and I have searched 1,000+ 1988's from circulated bank rolls. One thing I find strange is people generally say the Denver version is harder to find but according to Wexler this is not the case: "1 in every 870 P-Mint 1988 Lincoln cents will have the transitional reverse design making them quite scarce." http://doubleddie.com/278722.html"Some quick math tells us that approximately 1 in every 478 1988-D Lincoln cents will have the transitional reverse design making them quite scarce, but a little easier to find than their P-Mint counterparts." http://doubleddie.com/278743.html |

The Denver version goes four up to four times as much as the Philly version. There is one 88 D on ebay and the asking price is $1,250.00. I have seen some pretty good 88's with the same grade "62" go between $175-$300. The Philly version is considered scarce and the Denver version rare. Edited by Jim0815

Jim0815, that's what I don't understand. Either Wexler is wrong or people are just conditioned to pay more for a Denver variety.
Based on Wexler's figures:
P Mintage: 6,092,810,000 if 1 in 870 were errors = 7,003,230
D Mintage: 5,253,740,443 if 1 in 478 were errors = 10,991,089
The Philly should be commanding the higher price, shouldn't it?
