<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 4910231, member: 105098&quot;]According to variety vista there&#039;s 7 identifiable dies by markers for 1988P and 3 for 1988D</p><p>1988 1c RDV-006, Die 1 of 7</p><p>1988-D 1c RDV-006, Die 1 of 3</p><p><br /></p><p>1988&#039;s FG is supposed to look like the below which is RDV-005:</p><p><img src="http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20Doubled%20Dies%20Vol%202/Design%20Varieties/1986SRDV005%20FG.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>the variety has the reverse of RDV-006 that was meant for the 1989 reverse and looks like the below:</p><p><img src="http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20Doubled%20Dies%20Vol%202/Design%20Varieties/1989SRDV006%20FG.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Note the G is &quot;flared&quot; compared to RDV-005.</p><p>This G is what you should be looking at to identify the 1988 RDV-006.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the AM goes on these it&#039;s imperceptible to identify it there and a bad way to identify it in general. the lettering is slightly sharper, but they both have the same gap really.</p><p>RDV-005</p><p><img src="http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20Doubled%20Dies%20Vol%202/Design%20Varieties/1986SRDV005%20AM.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>RDV-006</p><p><img src="http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20Doubled%20Dies%20Vol%202/Design%20Varieties/1989SRDV006%20AM.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps to clarify the situation, there is no 1988 wide AM because they all are wide AM, HOWEVER, there is a &quot;flared G&quot; 1988 variety in both P and D mints, which is the reverse die (RDV-006) that was supposed to be used for 1989 cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
