coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/17/2009 01:26 am Here is a couple of images to compare the two different RDV's for those years. Here is another image with your coin and the RDV-006: Yours is an earlier die state, but appears to be lacking the inside cross bar, so I would say it is a RDV-005.

MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 06/17/2009 07:33 am Coop, I might be all wet here. This looks to be the RDV-006 to me. Check the 005 and note how the G tends to lean to the right. On the 006 they tend to lean left. Also on the 005 the G points straight to the rim, on the 006 it arcs down toward the vertical bar.

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 06/17/2009 10:04 am still lookin: Congrats! Definitely RDV-006! (1988P with Reverse of 1989.) *FYI- You might want to consider requesting to join the RDV-006 Group at Lincoln Cent Resource- exclusive owners of this rare transitional cent). Check this site to try and match your coin to one of the 4 known dies for a 1988P RDV-006 Just click on the RDV-Die4(upper right of screen) and it will change to 1 then click again and it changes to 2 etc. http://www.varietyvista.com/1988PRD...4%20cent.htm Edited by chuckster 125 06/17/2009 10:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

still lookin Pillar of the Community 967 Posts	Posted 06/17/2009 5:21 pm chuckster 125, It is die four. There is an identical scratch the falls below the crossbar on the T in cents. Also there is a small die scratch below the FG from the bottom right of the base of the building to meets the edge of the bush just below the F of FG. You can actually see this scratch on my photo above. This is not listed on the above website as a die marker, but it matches just the same. Thanks everyone for their input. I did not realize that the die markers were contained in the above website. Still lookin Report this Post to the Staff
