Seen a penny, picked it up and that alone was my good luck. LOL I was surprised that it is not in horrible condition considering I found it in a local Dollar General parking lot.

This is normal for all 1988 cents.

That is the normal RDV-005 die. The RDV-006 is the non common example. All the 1960-1992 were normal design for the "Wide AM'. The graders call them that, but the reverse dies initials were the issue, not the Wide AM.

The rounded 'AM' devices are the RDV-005. The RDV-006 has flat wider devices on the them. I spotted that on your first image. It is the rounded RDV-005 die. Not the desired one. (RDV-006)

Okay see now I know. I have only just heard of it recently so I do appreciate the info. Maybe next time with a little bit of luck it will be the right one
