do you have different die pairs of the p's?

sorry,i dont want to be a bubble buster but the reverse looks to me as the RDV-005

the font style of "United States of America" does not look like the 89-92 and the "FG" does not look right either. It doesn't have the hook on the G and the FG should more prominent, especially the "F"

I have to go along with snowman. I cant see the hook that i look for either.

I would have agree with snowman on this one. In addition, with all the bubbling on the reverse it may be that one is stratigically placed on the G to give it as similar appearance as the 006.

I would have to agree with Snowman, Steven and Nightowl on this one. Although the "G" appears to be flared, I don't think it is a result of the design elements but by a well placed imperfection in the die(chip) or the plating(bubble). That's a tough one to swallow 1gtsfan. You must have been really excited. Sorry.

the font style is a another indicator, when i'm roll searching i usually look at the reserve first, i usually know what year group the cents are in

with the 86-88 and 89-92 groups you'll start to see the difference if you look at the reverse first. but that is what i do plus i use a 10X loupe

here is some other links (PCGS) on this topic with my name and our very own Brent from last year (its amazing on how his apperance changes)
