Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 10/09/2019 2:03 pm The problem probably stems from the RDV-006's listing in the CherryPickers Guide being lumped into the Wide AM reverses of 1998-2000. It seems like the CPG is one of the variety references that all TPGs recognize, so PCGS is likely going off of that. (I might be wrong but this makes sense) I absolutely agree that all references should stop using " Wide AM" to describe the 1988 RDV-006. Changing the CPG is a good first step because of how prevalent it is. If the coin community needs a cutesy nickname so bad, just call it the "Flared G". Report this Post to the Staff

GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 10/09/2019 3:37 pm I have mine which is a 65RD. From what I can tell with all PCGS Slabbed Examples none exist over 65RD and the ones that do are improperly attributed. Report this Post to the Staff
