In 1989 the reverse dies were modified. On the 1989 reverse dies the vertical bar of the “ G ” in the designer’s initials shows a straight line at the top going inward and it drops down below the lower curve. In contrast the 1988 dies have a plain “ G ” with no fancy lines at all. This variety was first discovered in 2007. We believe that the die technicians grabbed some 1989 reverse or “tails” dies at the end of the 1988 year and paired them with the 1988 obverse or “heads” dies. The coin in question shows that 1988 obverse die paired with a 1989 reverse die. This is a very small detail change. Pay close attention to all 1988 cents as this variety can and has been overlooked. Currently the 1988 D has 11 different dies identified and the 1988 P has 7 different dies identified. However the number of “found” coins total 3 to 1 for the 1988 P over the 1988 D. A possible reason for this is that the Denver mint discovered the mix-up early in the striking of these coins, and removed all of the 1989 reverse dies. This is why the 1988 D is currently very rare and the 1988 P is just listed as rare.
