I found this one in the wild yesterday. I think it's one I've been looking for. I'd appreciate opinions.

Looks cool :) but, I can't see that it has any pivoting (CW, CCW, etc) - is that correct or just the angle or just how they are for these halves?

Looks like a RPM to me. It appears to be repunched 3 times.

I think if you had a new photo showing the bottom of the mintmark at a different angle and more light, you would see this wouldn't be an RPM but MDD.

Comparing it with this:
http://varietyvista.com/12%20Kenned...8DRPM001.htm

In your pics I cannot see the hidden horizontal D like on the website. So its likely not the same as the website's half.

I agree seeing pics with lighting showing the bottom edge of the MM can help to better tell if it is MD.

How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

No pivoting necessary CC as long as long as it's east, west, north or south. Rpms don't vary by denomination. If you count the original punch, I agree there's a total of three EandV. Thanks Joey, I need to add more though. Larry, it doesn't look flat like MD, it's rounded, and there's no other MD on the coin. Thanks for the link Earle. I'll post more pics, but it's going to take a little while. Thanks everyone for the comments.
Edit: on second thought, maybe a total of two.
