...saw a write up in CW about this in the december 6,2010 issue page 50. it talks about the designer's initials being a

little different and meant for the 89 but some were on the 88's. it is supposed to be in the new cherrypickers' guide

book in the future.

    I look for them in change. I can never remember what the differences are, however, so I don't think I've been effectively searching. I suppose I should look at a 1987 and 1989 examples first to realize the differences. I also look for the known AM varieties 1992-2000, but haven't found any, and those I know what to look for. Also type B clad quarters, but first I'd need to get the relevant D-mint coins in change.

    I have about 125 rolls of OBW 1988 cents, but I don't have the time or the patience to search for this variety.

    ...not sure on the value but they are supposed to be listed in the new CPG book coming out and they usually

    list some prices for the varieties. image

    Sounds good to me. How about I send a free OBW roll of 1988P BU Lincolns to the first 5 people who pm me about it. One easy condition. You have to search them for this variety and post the results here.

    Anybody in?

    4 PMs received so far.

    I think I've found two or three of them when I was actively roll searching, now I look for them in change occasionally, all mine were the P mints, I'm still on the lookout for the 92 close AM's

    ...i understand the D mint is very scarce in the 88's with the 89 reverse. image

    Thanks to "abitofthisabitofthat" for sending me a free OBW roll of 1988-P Lincoln cents.

    Results of searching the roll:

    FOUND: 1 minor DDO.Coppercoins # 1988-P 1DO-005.

    Small splits in the numbers of the date.

    All die markers match the coppercoins pictures exactly.
