| Doesn't appear to be a scratch, seems like struck through either wire or a very narrow rim burr. No metal has been displaced, and it is reaching all the way into the recesses of the bays of the memorial building. Still, not gonna be worth much if anything with the corrosion damage to both sides. |

| @luvmyCAM that checks out with what I've seen on the PCGS website. About half of the example coins they have images of on their website are misattributed lol. TPGs are absolutely terrible at attributing varieties in general. I am constantly seeing doubled dies attributed as the wrong variety. For example, a large percentage of the very rare and valuable 1972 FS-104 Lincoln Cents attributed by PCGS are misattributed, which is extremely bad because most of the other varieties are worth about 1/10 of what the 104 is worth (and who knows, the 104 might be even more valuable if they weren't misattributing so many other varieties as it) |

| @pnewman attribution number refers to the catalogue number assigned to a variety by various reference databases like Variety Vista, Wexler's Die Varieties, the CPG, Coppercoins, CONECA, etc. You did list an attribution number in your title (RPM-004) |

Edit: Ignore this comment, I was looking at 1944 instead of 1945 for some reason. No wonder I was having trouble finding an exact match!
My original dumb comment left for posterity: Also, your ID of RPM-004 is definitely incorrect after taking a look at the variety vista entry. But you may be wrong in a good way, because I think this could be this is RPM-002/FS-501, a much more valuable and CPG-listed die. It's in a later die state, so I didn't recognize it at first, but you can see it also has the doubling above the loop of the lower D that has been partially polished out. Could also be RPM-010, or maybe one that isn't listed on VV. None of theirs look like a perfect match, and I'm on mobile right now and can't compare mint mark position. |

| Doesn't appear to be a DDO to me, but feel free to upload a side by side of the date next to one you consider "normal." I don't see any split serifs that you mention, and for it to be an extra thickness DDO, I would expect it to be either a Class II or a Calss VI, and I would expect to see evidence on LIBERTY and IGWT if that were the case, which I'm not seeing. |

| No such thing. RPMs stopped in 1990 when the mint mark became part of the hub and was no longer punched by hand. This is just zinc rot caused by split plating during the strike. |
