rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 3909 Posts	Posted 04/26/2025 1:51 pm Yes, this is what I would consider a minor RPM. It is hard to see even in early die state and high grade, let alone after some circulation. But it was listed long ago and continues to be one of the many older RPMs that would not be listed today. That said, IMO CONECA was/is too critical of RPM strength to qualify for listing, as well as inconsistent. I have several stories relating to this. One example is the 55-S RPM I sent in 20+ years ago which came back as "Too minor to list". Yet just after that the first edition of what became VV was published, and my coin was listed as RPM #5 but with someone else listed as the discoverer! I have several more examples, but in the case of RPM #4 I do agree it's a pretty minor RPM.
