I am looking at a 1988 VariX III series scope.
Were they Multicoat 4 by that time, or single coated?

If you have it in hand look for a greenish tint to the lenses. That's MC4, earlier scopes had a bluish tint.

Copied this off of their website:
=================================
The Leupold Answer Guide
Multi-Coat 4
A special, high transmission lens coating introduced on selected Leupold optics in 1990. The use of MC4 coating will increase light transmission in a rifle scope by 8% to 10%. This coating is featured on all Leupold Vari-X III and Mark 4 models as well as selected M8's. On these models, all lens surfaces are coated with MC4 to give the maximum light transmission and low light performance. The new VX II models now have MC4 on the external surfaces of the objective and eyepiece lenses.
One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.

The new VX II models now have MC4 on the external surfaces of the objective and eyepiece lenses. This has changed, the VX-II has had all lenses MC4 coated for a while now.

Thanks Odessa. That was what I needed to know.
