I agree with Mark that the earlier version makes more sense. If you received it that year, surely it was published in that year. Something like that could have legal implications.

In the LCPS for 2.8.6.6 there is an example showing an optional inclusion of a copyright date in addition to a probable publishing date and in the example the value for 008/06 Type of date is “t.”
Speaking of which, this example is a recent change in practice by LC. The older version of LCPS 2.8.6.6, A1. read: "If the copyright date is for the year following the year in which the publication is received, supply a date of publication that corresponds to the year of receipt." Now it reads: "If the copyright date is for the year following the year in which the publication is received, supply a date of publication that corresponds to the copyright date." In both cases, the "t" code is employed. The earlier version makes more sense to me.
