MrHaz New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 08/08/2011 9:35 pm First of all, greetings to everyone. I have been "lurking" for a few weeks ever since I got into LMC coin roll hunting in an attempt to fill some Harris folders for my 9 year old grandson. I have searched about 10,000 pennies so far, and have to say, this is a very addictive hobby! I'm not sure, but "think" I may have found a 1988 D RDV-006. I have looked at this coin probably 100 times and think I see the sherif at the bottom for sure, and a partial on the top? I hope my pictures are defined enough so you will be able to form an opinion. I have read there are other "markers?" to look for also, and am here to learn. Thanks in advance for any input and opinions on this coin. Edited by MrHaz 08/08/2011 11:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Before you start fruit jumping better wait just a while longer for some more replies. I was wrong once before. Just once I just noticed. There's a veggie in that fruit group. Get it outta there.

MrHaz New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 08/08/2011 11:10 pm Thanks for the greetings and viewpoints/opinions so far! Thinking of taking it to a local coin dealer to see what he thinks too. I changed the topic description so folks wouldn't have to guess what I was talking about! I'm starting to get the hang of this I think. Picked up a $50.00 bag from my bank this afternoon! They said they will call me every time the coin sorter fills a bag & they are all mine. Feed the addiction! Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 08/08/2011 11:56 pm Do not be surprised if your local dealer does not know anything about this variety. I took mine to a show in Houston and none of the dealers even knew it existed. But they all started combing through their 88's. Report this Post to the Staff
rolhalo Valued Member United States 88 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 10:02 am Can someone tell me what RDV-006 is? Might be a dumb question but I'm curious because I see a regular penny when I look at these pictures. Report this Post to the Staff

I did find one of these awhile back and it is in transit to John Wexler right now. Here is an example http://varietyvista.com/1988DRDV0061%20cent.htm John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/10/2011 4:26 pm Looks more like 005. The devices on the 006 for this year are an early die state. This dies look worn from what I can see. Report this Post to the Staff
