Is this quarter FS-501 RPM?

I am comparing to these two CoinFacts images.

Very nice pictures but I do not believe it is the FS 501, because I'm not seeing another serif (North RPM) as depicted in this listing....

I don't think it is WRPM-003. The OP's close up shows the top of the secondary MM farther north.

(and VV won't open)

Thanks for the replies. I looked on Coinfacts because if I send to PCGS, I wanted to see what they have certified as FS-501; however, the top three all looked different from each other.

I will spend more time on this tomorrow but something is eschew. Different listings do not match, descriptions are different and of different pics I have looked at, the mm locations are different. Need some time to check this one out....

The OP's photos are of 1968 S, while the links posted are to a 1969 S.

Here's the link to the 1968 S on VV:

Oh boy, I'm glad you caught that, thanks!

Mods, this title should be 1969-S instead of 1968-S. The pics of the mint mark is correct; however, the full quarter view is incorrect. (Fixed)

Well, this would explain my confusion when checking out listings.... So we are dealing with a 69S, correct?

Here is a comp of the coin facts pics that you had links to and yours. The left pic looks to be RPM-002, the middle pic RPM-001 and then yours on the far right. Yours does not look to match ether. I think the reason for the confusion with the coin facts is that one gets an FS# for the RPM and the other gets the FS# for the DDO it is paired with, two totally different dies, as you can see by the mm location. I would add VV links but they have not been working for me when I download them on here for some reason, this has been this way for a week or so for me, not sure if it is this way for others.

Not seeing an RPM on this one. I'm only seeing Machine Doubling.

Greasy Fingers, maybe this will help with why I took time to look at it. Definitely MD going on but maybe more....

Yep, I posted for the same reasoning -makecents- mentioned above. Given the coinfacts showed similar, I wanted to get other opinions.
