The 1988 has circulation wear and a worn die strike which causes Die Deterioration doubling aka worthless doubling.
The 1952 Dime is Silver and dirty and damaged.

 

what paddy said.

spend one, keep the silver

 

the 1952's silver great my Bubbles safe for today then

 

And…the designers initials are normal, what is called sans-serif…meaning this ‘88 is not a Reverse of 1989 variety.

 

OMG so many varietys Im gona implode cheers

 

The cent is a lousy Zincoln and has plating issues. The dime is silver, but ED, environmentally damaged, but still worth the silver value, or 10¢ if you spend it.

 

Keep the dime, put the cent in the ground, paddyman will find it for sure.

 

I think your 1988d has a 1989 reverse. The FG initials. (The G). Looks like it has that horizontal thingy. @Spark1951

 

Got that wrong. Oh well. Thanks for the thingy info

 

I have Quite a few 1988’s saving for the grandkids and a rainy day to go thru. Must have a couple in there. To small for me.

 

Honestly when I started collecting coins those 1988 where kinda the first search coin I was going after. So I saved them all. Still not any closer then day one. Cuz I just can tell the difference. Thanks for you and @justyn p my son is Justen
