Thank s all for your comments.
To be honest with you my only intentions were explore further opinion from experts and fellow collectors.
In my mind there was no question of this being RPM-005 from the get go, I kept increasing the magnification as I was taking images until I put it under 30x mag. it was then that I noticed the Triple serifs and Three overlapping curvature of the D to the East,I checked VV. WEXLER and CC and then I thought to share it with members here which it always is a great learning experience.

The possible horizontal D and vertical D to the left looks too small.

After looking at the listings much closer, yours looks to be a later die stage than any shown. The re-punching to the west would appear to be the remnants of the inside of the mm, making it look like a tiny D. How extreme is the break at the right eave? Your extreme magnification maybe showing something in the splits that just was not noticed before.

Thanks john1 ,good point. I'm wondering which part of the mintmark it is?
makecents, what you are suggesting is definitely plausible, the eaves to the right is not very strong but can be seen under 15x mag.

Looks like an earlier die state that other may have examined? Or if this is on the only example it maybe a contact mark on the mintmark. So in order to confirm this, we would need more examples of these, to know for sure it wasn't damage? Post an image of the full date and mintmark area and I can make a side by side to see if the location is an exact match. If the locations are different, then we know there are other examples of the same RPM and they would need to be made a different die number. (which I doubt) But I have found in the past an example where everyone was assuming only one die when there should have been two different numbers.

I had purchased this coin for the 019, but noticed there were extra areas affected on this RPM compared with the 019:

Thus the new listing for this new RPM:

Well it is not RPM-005. I used the coppercoins example. Now I need to see if they are all using the same die on other sites

It is a match to Variety Vistas RPM-005:

Nice job on the comps, I pulled out my two copies to compare. This is such a unique repunch that a doppleganger seems improbable especially if there are similar reverse markers. Possibly different camera lenses at differing angles, lighting, etc.

Chase007 do you have any of the reverse markers from either site? Looks like you have a clash through the date same as mine.

"Well it is not RPM-005. I used the coppercoins example. Now I need to see if they are all using the same die on other sites

edit: I don't think the west MM is considered horizontal, just tilted west
It is confusing to refer to CCs 1mm-5 as rpm-5

Thanks CentSation,
I agree on the MM not being Horizontal and I do see the Clash line on mine but it is very minute. I will post a close up of the reverse to compare markers.
Happy holidays everyone.
