This one has a nearly coast-to-coast NW-SE obverse lamination and second decent reverse lamination at 4 o'clock to 5 o'clock. It may also be RPM-002 (WRPM-005), but the mint mark has too much wear to verify the RPM and the wear makes mm position comparison difficult. (It does, however, appear to have the two known markers for that RPM.)

Here are the mug shots:

And a west-to-east series of the obverse lamination:

And a shot of the reverse lamination:

That obv lam gives the portrait a bit of a sinister appearance. Very nice pick-up!

@Spence, thanks! I agree, it's quite the look.

@Mark1959, thanks! If this is the scar after a botched root canal, I sure don't want his orthodontist!

@IndianGoldEagle, thank you!
