I am unsure. It looks close but not too promising.... Yours (panda) is just eye candy! made me look harder!!! Now I am seeing something that might not be there what do u guys think?
yup, that's one. On the common variety, there is no vertical crossbar on the G. See http://www.lincolncentresource.com/Featured/1988RDV6.html
Ok, after trying to image some RDV-005s I'm not sure anymore. It does look like it has a crossbar though. I never could get a sharply struck RDV-005, which is maybe why they changed lol. #1 crossbar, #2 Point, rare one has them, common one doesn't
For me the easiest way to tell the difference is like this. Notice on the '88 reverse the top loop of the G is even with the right edge of the letter and on the '89 it stops short. Once you look at enough of them it's easy to see the difference.:smile
