Interesting. Thanks for commenting y'all!

@John1 Thanks for the tip, I did a search and found coop's post comparing the RDV-005 and RDV-006.

I thought the "crossbar of the G" or the "hook of the G" was not present on the RDV-005 and the normal 1988-D's 'G' was just straight?


The "hook and crossbar"/"flare" of the G and the thickness of the base are present on my 1988-D are they not? Although, there is some deterioration and extra thickness going on that may be overlapping the bottom/sticking out part of the right part of the 'G.'

I could be seeing something that may not be there, but I clearly see a hook and crossbar on the 'G', especially on the last pic, and little notches going inward on the 'G' on the previous two pics.

Any else want to chime in?

Hey coop, thanks for commenting.

Here is a pic of the AM in America:




Edit* After wiping the coin and looking at it a second time under the microscope, I don't see the hook or the crossbar, it must have been extra material or lint or something it just looks straight now. This is an RDV-005. Thanks for commenting folks.
