Coop, I don't think it is RPM-002. MD is a possibility, for certain.
What really made me hesitate is whatever is protruding from the mm at 5 o'clock. That is at a sharp angle away from the mm, and isn't oriented the same way as the possible MD. I don't see any obvious damage that would point to PMD at that point. It could be just a conveniently located die chip.
The same protrusion can be seen on the more worn coins, but they are just too far gone to draw any conclusions. This is the best of the lot, and about the only one that offers any hope to figure it out.
The very weak line inside the mm could be as simple as a die scratch. it's interesting, but I can't draw any conclusions from it alone because it is just too weak.
I'd love to see pics of a higher grade coin with the same mm position. That would give a definitive answer.
Thanks!
