Hey Badthad, I have been researching the 1988 D RDV all darn day. Had a dealer give me a verbal authentication after I had to direct him to whyat it was. lol Learned that PCGS does not authenticate this variety yet. Also the last one sold on eBay was returned because of that. No Sale was made. See that the searching started in 2007 according to the forums I looked at. But not that many have been found since. I am sending it to CONECA to James Wiles. He agreed to authenticate and assign attributes. I got really damn lucky, but like Ferdyboy says, persistence may eventually pay off. Wish me luck on the grading. And if you find any new info, I would appreciate it. I believe all of them minted are in circulation because surely dealers would have checked their stock by now ? Am kind of hoping the obverse die was changed after a single planchet ? Possible since they still are not coming up ? Anyway, thanks for the support. Gary
I would like to trade a 1998 wam for a 2000 wam I have four. If you want pics I can send those too. I posted them somewhere on here last year I think. You might find them all in one of my threads. I have yet to find a 1998wam.

How could do any research without bumping into THIS? But I seem to a simple "dirt" problem to start with.
