Achilles Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 02/22/2019 4:07 pm The initials look a little too far away from the memorial to be a 006 Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 02/22/2019 5:25 pm It's RDV-005. You can tell by the distance of the F from the memorial building. The RDV-006 is much closer than RDV-005. I feel like it shouldn't be called a WAM in PCGS because Both RDVs have a Wide AM. It should be a simple Reverse die variety designation in my opinion. It would be a much clearer way to put it. Again, just my opinion. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 02/22/2019 5:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/22/2019 5:30 pm If the 'FG' is weak then it is probably a RDV-005. I've yet to see a 1988 cent RDV-006 with a weak 'FG'. All the weak ones were the retiring 005's. Report this Post to the Staff

Herbicide74 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 3:06 pm Thanks. It was hard to tell because the G had taken a hit and was obscured. I was going by the A. Guess I'll keep looking. Report this Post to the Staff
levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 3:31 pm When looking at the "A" in America, what am I looking for? And which "A", first or last? thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Herbicide74 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 02/23/2019 4:08 pm I was looking at how skinny the "A" was in the first A in America, especially the left side of the A. The 005 looked fatter, as did the 007. It just looked like the 006, but the FG is the real teller to the type, and the G was pretty beat up. I definately defer to the experts. Hope does seem to make one see whatis not there. Report this Post to the Staff
