    Thanks.



    I'm still trying to find out exactly how rare this cent is (Stage A- Die #2)

    In your opinion, is it worth getting the coin slabbed by ANACS or NGC?

    What does coppercoins say? If the coin is worth at least $100, it'd be worth slabbing.

    I'm curious as to what the issue is. What am I looking for on this coin?

    Hi:


    This is a generalization of what to look for.

    Look at the designers initials on the reverse (FG)- its the initials that are on the regular 1989P and D Lincoln cents, but these ended up on a 1988P & 1988D cent. (transitional)

    Look at the initials on a reverse of a regular 1988P & D cent and you will see the difference right away.

    Hope this helped.

    I would think its at least MS63

    i know a few members over on Lincoln Cent Resource have had there slabbed. Im not sure if NGC will reconize this variety - i asked them a year ago with no answer, but i know that ANACS does it.

    Here is some members that have some of this variety if you have some questions. You notice my name up there also. http://www.lincolncentresource.net/forums/group.php?groupid=3
