No- Never happen unless the person who buys it doesn't know what they are doing!
"RAW" 1988D-RDV006 have sold for around $500.00/$600.00 - no where near $12,000!

That's crazy money, especially for an AU55.
At least give me an MS example for that extra $99!
The problem I have is with them calling it a key to the series. To me, this will never be a key. If I get one, I get one.

Maybe more. I checked the ANACS pop report and there are none graded higher. His is one of the 2 AU55 andf the other one they show is a AU40. This is dang rare !

I often wonder what the pop report really tells us.ANACS shows three of the Denver and twenty one of the Philly coins. I have found two of the Phillys since I began searching for them in the last two months.

I have one of these also.I would guess the grade @ AU58.Finding MS examples of the Denver coin will be hard to find because the variety was not discovered untill 19 years after the coin was minted.There is one person who claims to have found 4 mint state examples. From the reports that I have seen,there seems to be less than 20 coins reported so far.Heres my D coin.    |

I have two 1988 RDV-006 both die 4 and one 1988 D also die 4. I would probably sell them for that price each. I would probably even throw in a couple auto's in the driveway.

WoW ! You should probably get them authenticated, at least the D. I mean Philly's abound, but even the Lincoln Resource says fewer than a dozen of the D's have turned up. A lot of people mistake the 005 for the 006 die. But it looks like you may have one of the genuine mules. Even if the population goes to a 100 coins, it would still be a pretty rare one. And I agree that the 88/89 mule variety is probably a key coin to completing a set, just like the 92 CAM and the 97-00 WAMs which seem to be common also. It will be interesting to see if he gets any bids. But since a 69 S DDO went for $35k at Heritage recently, you really have to wonder. I learned that one sold on ebay for $485 I think, but was returned because it wasn't as described. The one this guy has posted seems genuine. At least ANACS thinks so. |

I'm not even sure these would go for the values you guys are talking about. The market on varieties like these is REALLY soft right now. Best to just hang onto them.
