Hello all, I have trouble telling these apart looking for some opinions. Tried to get all different angles and lighting.

Nope, RDV-005, sorry. RDV-006 would have a flare in the G, like this. http://www.lincolncentresource.com/...988RDV6.html

Yeah David I'm gonna respectfully disagree with you on this one. This is the FS-901 Reverse of 1989, RDV-006.

Congratz on the rare find!

IMO, I'm leaning towards 005, because the top of the G extends further to the right almost equal to the vertical part of the G

I don't know, the serifs are not really clear, but it does look bulkier than the normal g

Looks like there might be a die crack running through the I in United starting/ending just below the corner of the memorial that would match the last picture of what this page has labled as 1988 1¢ WTRD-001.

Would you take close ups of the "I" in "United", the date, and the areas above and below liberty? I would like to stare at your coin some more.

Sorry GrapeCollects, but I don't agree at all. I think it's RDV-005, and not RDV-006.

It is the RDV-005. The top of the G tells the story.

Looks like the initials are far from the building too.

It's usually not this hard to determine, is it possible that the initials are displaying some doubling making it difficult?
