I had thought this was rpm #055 as there are markers present on the reverse which match along with the mm location. But the projection below the mint mark looks more like a die dent. Any thoughts?

The 055 and 010 look like the same die from an overlay. Duckhawk your coin looks like damage on the mint mark, but a possible RPM under the lower serif. An overlay matches both numbers for location from what I can can see.

Coop is there a program you use to work with the overlays? I think that would be a great system for identification.
Thanks

The program I use is called Photo shop. But I've been working about 10 years with it and still learning new stuff every time I use it. The program and directions on how I use it is on the coppercoins.com/ site under the Photography section. Here are a couple of tags on how I use the program. It is a quick move through a difficult process, but many have been help that way.

But the first step is to get a program. I use an older program 5.5, so you don't need the newest program. The price might surprise you, but getting an older program will cost less. But the steps are there unless I forgot something. There may even be better solutions that I didn't include as most of this information is a few years old. But enjoy. You will get a small taste of what I've enjoyed through the years with this program.
