RDV-005 Found on 1989 Lincoln Cent

Found this 1989 Lincoln Cent with a straight G in the designers initials. Only 1 reported so far?? "A 1989 cent with RDV-005 has now been reported. It is currently not known how rare this transitional design may be. In 1989 the mint again modified the design, by once more changing the font on the designer's initials." This quoted from Coneca. Anyone know what the value on this one might bring?

    You say 1 has been reported? And you want a value? What's your guess? Have better images so we can see what you're talking about? And welcome.

    round G is common

    The "G" with a kickstand is harder to find. maybe worth a buck to the 3 of us who even careimage

    Coins like this will get much more appreciation when the cent goes out of circulation.

    There were probably a large number made but few survive. When the cents are gone
    then what you see is what you get.

    Actually on a 1989 the kickstand G is the normal one...the rounded G is the tough one.

    1989 should be RDV-006 (the kickstand G)
    If you found the RDV-005 on a 1989 that will be big news.

    See pics:

    Guy's, My printer stoped working & I can't find the darn driver for it. I have to leave out in 4 hrs. for work. When I return Tuesday evening, I will get a digital camera on this coin. This coin does not have the rounded flared G with the Kick stand. It looks just like the 005 picture from Coneca. Like I said, Tuesday evening I will get a Camera shot and not this darn scanner. Will be back Tuesday evening with photos. Best, br2055

    I have a couple of pics on my computer. I have tried for 2 hours to download these on photobucket. I'm giving up tonight. I leave out early again in the morning. If someone wants to PM me, I will send these to you and maybe you can help get them posted. Thanks, br2055.

    Hey Bart, I've sent two pm's in response to yours, but they aren't showing up in my history. Do you have your pm function on? Think it's in the profile field once you're signed in. Anyway, you asked for my email, I gave it to you, won't repeat it here cuz Joe may be watching. Once I get it, I'll upload to my host, then try to get them on here. It will be tomorrow though, time to try to rejoin that cool dream from last night, already in progress.

    Could not get close up with the old Cannon. Needs close up Lens. Big Bucks. So I took the old web-tv black box out of retirement and hooked up the Camcorder and got these shots. Best I can do with what I've got. I got some good photos on my computer but they show up to small on photobucket. pharmer, I will try to send them to youimage

    thanks for the pics - my opinion is that its the normal reverse - sorry -

    the FG looks real strong while compared to 86-88 have weaker "FG"
    plus the font style looks like the 89-92 but its hard to tell by the picture

    also James Wiles might pull it off his list - he made a comment on the 24th

    here is the link Coneca forum link

  • BR2055BR2055 Posts: 59
    I trashed all my cameras, picked up a Microscope. Look at the pics now and tell me this is a Kickstand G on the 1989 Lincoln Cent.imageimage


    I have hundreds of 89 cents and they all have this kind of G,image

    Got this reply back From James Wiles. Thanks Guy's for your help, thought I had a rare one for a while. br2055

    It appears that your 1989 cent has the standard RDV-006 which has undergone die deterioration on maybe a little over abrasion.
    Thanks,
    James Wiles
