hello Sarge50

i checked doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, and coppercoins.com and did not find a match. all of the mintmarks are more east then yours.

also, I am not seeing an RPM on your coin.

I thought the RPM-002 on VV was a match? If it's not an RPM Is it a die chip then? I was sure this was an RPM?

What you are seeing is a damaged mintmark punch issue. Not a RPM.

Note on the site that most of the RPMs show this same damaged punch issue (some stronger than others) but it has nothing to do with a RPM.
