2foxy Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 01/08/2023 07:21 am I think I might have found a 1988 penny with an 1989 reverse, but I'm not entirely sure because I'm still new at this. Can anyone confirm? Thank you so much for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/08/2023 2:25 pm Also the AME on AMERICA has different Devices there. On the RDV-005 these are rounded. On the RDV-006 they are flat. Also the 'FG' on your coin is showing sever die wear on the initials. On the RDV-006, they are all fresh that year. (They were a replacement of wearing out dies. So they snagged the 1989 RDV-006 dies to finish out the year, creating a year variety for that year) So they would not show die wear on the 'FG' if they were the RDV-006.
