This coin is so damaged that is it pretty much impossible to tell.

It would be a hole filler in an album to be replaced later with a better example.

Quite a bit of wear on this one. Too much to determine if it's a D/D, IMHO.

What direction do you think the second MM is? (if you think north, that looks to be MD. But again, with the circulation damage on this one, no service would be able to attribute it IMHO.

I would call it RPM-001 or RPM-W001

Well the last two images are no help, but here are the coppercoins listings:

http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=eds
Check these locations on your coin to see of the mintmark locations are the same and shows the same RPM?

Given the somewhat soft photos posted, I'm thinking wear and circulation flattening--along with a few hits long past--have created the mushed detail we are seeing. I'm leaning toward no RPM.

For sure damaged, but it is hard for me to spend branch mint wheat cents. I'd probably save it in a roll with other near-culls.
