The die chip is just an interesting feature, but the real interest is in the RPM and knowledge of the particular stage. RPM-002 is not super easy though, even in earlier stages.

It is there. In my previous message I meant to say "it is not super easy to see". It shows up mostly on the upper serif. But don't take my word for it, go to the VV page I linked to.

The primary PUP is the die crack lower right wheat to rim. This coin shows the crack very weakly, so it is probably Stage F, or latest Stage G. The last listed stage is Stage L, and it has a Retained Cud, very cool.

It is certainly not super easy to see, agree. Bit too esoteric for me.

For sure this is a coin for the specialists who study and collect die stages.
