1988 Transitional Reverse Cent

[Car10]

Two examples sold at auction

Two seperate auctions for the 1988 RDV-006 Lincoln cent transitional variety ended today. One of the auctions ended at $202.52 and the other coin brought $356.01. There are two new auctions, listed only hours ago, for this same variety. These newly listed coins are two among a handful that were recently examined by Billy Crawford in preparation for his article in the most recent issue of Die Variety News Magazine.

You definitely hit the nail on the head. And, of course, the 2008 Silver Eagle with 2007 reverse (transitional) will hype the matter even more!

Variety gets mainstream website exposure

The 1988 transitionals are featured in an article on the website about.com in their coins section. The author, Susan Headley, says she expects the values of transitionals in general to rise significantly when they are better understood by collectors. The variety seems to be gaining more popularity all the time. There are even two active auctions on eBay running now.

Hi, guys
I am little confused? I have a 1989 with what seems to be the same reverse (type 2) as my 1998 type 2 reverse. See picture of 1989 attached is this one of the coins you are talking about?
Thanks, Bill
I get it now this is rdv-006

Hi ONTREC, I increased the size and looked at your photos and I am still unable to determine for sure if your coin is the second reported Denver example of the 1988 transitional. May I suggest contacting Dr. James Wiles to see if he can examine the coin for you to determine for sure. I too, hope it is.

Thanks For looking i have also found one other denver example i will post the picture in a few minutes

After roughly one year since it's discovery by Jeff Snow, by my count, of the Philadelphia version, there have been a total of fifteen pieces found. They are owned among ten different people.
Steven Bingham's Denver coin still stands alone.

i'm real surprised how far this variety has gone from the James W looking at my 1988 Lincoln and how big this thread has gotten from his variety vista web site and the article in Coin World & now Die Variety News - thanks again Snowman
