1988 P/D RDV-006 Pricing?

[thecentcollector]

What's are some good going rates on the RDV-006? I have yet to see anywhere any solid (or consistent) pricing for the 88's.

[jallengomez]

I just checked and the last few listed on Ebay for the Ps didn't get any bids at a starting price of $25. My guess would be $10 bucks or so. As for the D's, I'm not sure.

Just asking, because in the past few years, I've found "one". I'd like to strip down my extra effort of searching for these if it's not worth it in the end. Someone else could be happier finding them, but I'm not dedicating extra time to searching for $10. I was under the assumption that there was more demand for them, but apparently not.

Now, the 92's on the other hand... I've been actively searching for those, and that'll never change. Demand is high, and so is my interest.

Hi
Now a days I sold a bu example of a 88-p for $75 dollars and sold a 88-d for 100 in unc rb. I've seen p's a's low a's 15-20 and very few 'd's for sale. In fact most 'd's are traded privately. They don't have those astronomical prices they once had. Just look at the number of dies found on each side. Most people - if they have a nice one - might have it slabbed for there collection.

Bottom line 15-100 dollars. Unless you find a collector that has to have it or thinks there going to boom again.

I don't actively buy rolls of 88's to search for them, but it's something I always check when I come across 88's. I think the 1988-D is going to be the one to find, but I can't find any previous auction history.

a 88-D recently sold for....

$475.00 on ebay

I think a member here bought it. I know a member here sold it.

I was contemplating selling my "D" a few weeks ago, but after some sound advice from two members here I decided to put it in the safe deposit box and see what the market does. It's the Grandson's anyway, so holding onto it really isn't that big of a deal. There are several die pairings, but I think for the Ds anyway, they are much harder to come by, and may increase in value (fingers crossed anyway) Bill

I've been doing a lot of reading on them, and since 2007 there have been relatively very few found or reported, and it doesn't sound like it's because no one is searching for them. They seem very rare (maybe only 100 or so found so far?). I've seen several well-circulated examples go on eBay for ~$50. This one- http://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-P-Rever...t_1569wt_1141- has extensive damage on the obverse and has a BIN price of almost $40. People have been finding mostly poor examples because the variety was not discovered and searched for until recently. I'd expect better condition coins to fetch disproportionately better premiums.

[RWBILLER]

Whom ever bought the one for 475 must have a die collection - I believe it is wishful thinking to get such premiums all the time. It proves my point that some people must have one!

I have sold a total of 5 Denver ones. Lowest for $300. and highest for $525. 2 of them sold on eBay and 3 sold privately.

[Maineman750]

In my experience $45-100 for a P and the D's as Cindy just stated.Maybe the demand has dropped lately ?
But Joe should have a good handle on prices as well as Wayne.

I haven't checked it out for a while but my expereince was the same as Roger's (Maineman750). $40-100 depending on circulation for the P's. I said 2 yrs ago on this forum that these 88 transitionals were sleepers and I still believe that. I don't think we have seen the ceiling on these yet.

I couldn't agree more with both of you-

I own 2 BU 88Ps- an MS-63 and MS-64, both full red. Paid $75 and $90 respectively. I wouldn't part with either for less than half again what I paid. Completely agree on them being sleepers. They're stuck away in my "Next edition of CP" bag, which keeps growing.

The '88-D, don't care what anyone says- that's gonna be HOT coin! May times more rare than it's Philly counterpart. I sold one in AU to Rick Carlson for $200, he resold it last week with a Philly RDV in the same grade for $225 to another customer of mine. The customer of mine who was very pleased with his purchase would happily pay $500-700 for a decent grade BU Full Red Denver example. I think one could conservatively expect that value to at least double when it's featured in the new CP guide, though it might take 18 months or so for pop reports to reflect it's true scarcity and have pricing adjust accordingly.

I check eBay over the last few months and it looks like no sales over 75 dollars on any 1988 Lincoln cent.

I totally agree with the price ranges here and as far as the 1988-D's very few have sold across the board. This is going to be a very scarce coin and only about 25 - 30 examples have been found and verified out of 10 Die Pairs.

On the other hand the 1988-P's have 7 Die Pairs so far, however they are being found in circulation fairly often but still not that many vs the collector's market. I would advise picking one up and having it graded and set back and let it ride.
