1988 FS 901

I found this 88 I have been doing research it matches the fs901 this is a very nice coin. This coin wood grade pretty high there is nothing wrong with this coin no we're. Hard to find a coin that has nothing wrong with it but evr thing matches up just right All the markers are dead on it. It has all the scratches on it were they post to be the spread on the s and t in trust are dead on it the back on American is perfect I'm pretty sure the FG is the same in the word united are the same the E in united is the same the E Pluribus Unum is the same I don't know anything else to do like I said I done some research.

Looks normal to me.

 

It shore looks like it I could be wrong but thanks for the info I like stuff like that I can go back if I ever need help with something. You guys and women that leave stuff like that helps me and I can use this stuff more stuff I get I don't have to bother you guys so much.

 

any chance you can get a closer pic of the FG?

 

Sorry but that is the normal design. The one you should look for the g looks like G notice how the capital G has the hook back thats what the coin would look like.

 

RDV-005 (AKA normal).

 

Keep searching. I found a few when I was checking all my 88s and 89s.

 

All 1989s are this variety, only 1988 RDV-006s are rare.

 

Not rare, scarce. I've found a few.

 

Any thoughts on the value of something like this?

 

No, not rare or scarce. Literally every 1989 cent is RDV-006. I don't get what you think you've found exactly, but if you're saying you found a 1989 RDV-005, then I highly doubt it, but please post pictures so we can confirm. The reason that RDV-006 dies were used in 1989 was because the mint ran out of RDV-005s and had to dip into the 1989 dies a little early. I highly, highly doubt that there would have been any RDV-005 dies left in 1989 (and none have ever been reported). Other than that minute possibility, 100% of 1989 cents have RDV-006, so if you found a 1989 with RDV-006, it's neither rare nor scarce and worth $.01

 

$.01 since there's no such thing. This guy is confused.

 

Thanks guys for the info

 

Don't know the die state numbers only know the 1988 rev of 89 and the 1989 rev of 88. I have found both and sold them on eBay probably 10 years ago. My point being there is a difference between rarity and scarcity,

 

Yeah you right about that I just now learning about this coin after this many years have went by so I'm just learning about it.

 

There is no such thing as 1989 reverse of 88. Only 1988 reverse of 89.

 

True. But there are 89s with the appearance of an 88 reverse due to excessive die polishing. That was realised years ago.
