Believe that's possibly what I got here but that's why I ask the experts. Again I know my picture quality is horrible that will change here very soon.

I cannot tell if the flared G is present, try another shot at getting a better image of the FG

The screen shot of the FG from your scope is far too pixelated. Please don't post up screen shots. We like the see the actual image - it won't be pixelated.

Even with the poor photos, this is definitely not a 006, just a normal 005.

another thing that you can easily use in determining the RDV-006 is the position and spacing of FG in 1. distance from memorial and 2. space between FG.
With a big fat clear fared G these things are pretty easy to spot. I've never owned or seen a slider or grease filled/weak flared G etc. these baby's are proof reverse and the FG is clear. Keep searching you will find one eventually I have found both 88P and 88D. If I had it to do over it would have been cheaper to buy both examples in higher grades due to CoinScam oops meant CoinStar fees. I got burned out after 1.2 million cents but know for fact their still out there. Great low pop variety to find in the wild and say "Shazam! I found one" keep searching!

Even with the unclear photos it does not look like RDV-006.

note: there are more than 5 PCGS Mint State certified examples that I am aware of that are NOT the RDV 006 yet labeled as such. From what I heard (don't know for fact) was that when these were first discovered and submitted to PCGS their variety attributing personnel were not understanding the FG and were incorrectly looking at the space between AM of America and attributing common reverse 1988 cents. Thats what I heard and can't say for certain but what I can say is this before you buy any PCGS MS RDV 006 scrutinizing the FG is important because again I've seen 5 of these incorrectly labled.

As luvmyCAM stated you won't find one in mid or late die state, simply because there was not enough of them produced to wear the die down before they pulled the die out of production.

@luvmyCAM that checks out with what I've seen on the PCGS website. About half of the example coins they have images of on their website are misattributed lol. TPGs are absolutely terrible at attributing varieties in general. I am constantly seeing doubled dies attributed as the wrong variety. For example, a large percentage of the very rare and valuable 1972 FS-104 Lincoln Cents attributed by PCGS are misattributed, which is extremely bad because most of the other varieties are worth about 1/10 of what the 104 is worth (and who knows, the 104 might be even more valuable if they weren't misattributing so many other varieties as it)
