 I have been giving Google quite the workout trying to find another example of this coin. I can find doubling, but nowhere near as severe as this one - the 'D's have full north and south separation rather than a blur / 3D effect. Thoughts?

 to the CCF! I'm generally not an RPM guy, but that is one remarkable specimen. |

Tanman - I've looked at this example already. Note that, although the N/S separation is is there, the D is fractured. These are 2 full, healthy, 'D's with full separation. I have also seen varieties without the distinct individual doubling (blur / 3D). For additional context; I acquired some Brink's bank rolls that are the real 1958-deal. That is where this coin came from. Honestly I have no idea where the line is between varieties of an existing error and an entirely new error. It seems to me if you were into mint errors and this is the *-001 this would be the one to have.
Thank you, Jim.

Definitely an RPM-001. Congratulations! Just found an RPM yesterday myself.

I would contact John Wexler. Send him some pics and see what he thinks. Maybe mr. Coop or tropicalbats may chime in on this one.

Awesome find! That's one very nice RPM! Well done!  Errers and Varietys.

I intend to send it off to PCGS to have it graded once I unravel the mystery of what that actually costs. Regardless of the error, it really is a pretty much perfect coin otherwise right from a roll. I am quite happy to add it to my collection if I value it more than the masses ;)

Looks like a pretty straightforward RPM-001 in early die stage (based on length of lower horizontal bar of the secondary D as nothing else to go by). Note that this is a D/D/D as there is an obvious split upper serif as well, and that is visible in the OP's images. There are a lot of described die stages for this coin, going out to stage G or something like that, and so lots of images and markers to look for to nail it down (see VarietyVista for best results). It's a nice coin, but PCGS is likely to slap you with a $60 fee to put the variety on the label, so you may wish to go ANACS to save some money. In top condition these things can go for $40 or more.

Thank you for the input folks. These rolls I bought have been entertaining as about 50% of the coins have some sort of obvious issue from the one posted here to filled lower 'B' in liberty to Cud errors connecting the numbers in the date. It was a rough day at the Denver mint I guess :)   |

I am a bit shocked he replied, but James Wiles has confirmed this (first pic) to be RPM-001. I can't argue with that I guess :D

Your coin is indeed RPM-001, stage A, EMDS.
Thanks,
