In 1989 the Mint modified the design on the reverse of the Lincoln Memorial cents creating the 6th Memorial reverse design for the Memorial cent series. In the Wexler Die Variety Files we identify this reverse as Lincoln Memorial Reverse Design #6 (LMRD-006). CONECA identifies this Memorial reverse design as RDV-006. LMRD-006 was used on the Lincoln Memorial cents from 1989 through 1992 where it was used on all circulation strike and all proof cents for those years. It was also used for proof Lincoln cents struck from 1994 through 2008. The normal reverse for the 1988 Lincoln cents was used on all circulation strike and all proof cents from 1986 through 1988. We identify this reverse design as LMRD-005 (CONECA RDV-005). While there are subtle differences throughout the entire reverse between the design used in 1988 (LMRD-005) and the modified design introduced in 1989 (LMRD-006), the easiest place to spot the difference is on the designer’s initials. The new modified 1989 design has a distinct serif at the top left side of the vertical bar of the G in FG where the 1988 design does not have this serif. On the modified 1989 design the vertical bar of the G in FG extends down below the lower right curve of the G. It does not do that on the 1988 design.
