I was just taking pics from the mintmark when I noticed what it looks like three notching on the North West serif.The MM seems to be in the correct position, the only identifiable marker it has is the die scratch in the upper middle Y of LIBERTY.
In the last image three inner curves to the East are visible and the mintmark in the field seems to be Horizontal!!
What are your thoughts?

What your asking is if the three sites have it wrong, if instead of it being a D/D/D, it's a D/D/D/D.

Honestly...I'm going to have to say yes. I clearly see the three split serifs in the main RPM, while I also see the other D off to the left side.

Spectacular, and very interesting discovery.

Thank s all for your comments.
To be honest with you my only intentions were explore further opinion from experts and fellow collectors.
In my mind there was no question of this being RPM-005 from the get go, I kept increasing the magnification as I was taking images until I put it under 30x mag. it was then that I noticed the Triple serifs and Three overlapping curvature of the D to the East,I checked VV. WEXLER and CC and then I thought to share it with members here which it always is a great learning experience.

The possible horizontal D and vertical D to the left looks too small.

After looking at the listings much closer, yours looks to be a later die stage than any shown. The re-punching to the west would appear to be the remnants of the inside of the mm, making it look like a tiny D. How extreme is the break at the right eave? Your extreme magnification maybe showing something in the splits that just was not noticed before.

Thanks john1 ,good point. I'm wondering which part of the mintmark it is?
makecents, what you are suggesting is definitely plausible, the eaves to the right is not very strong but can be seen under 15x mag.

Looks like an earlier die state that other may have examined? Or if this is on the only example it maybe a contact mark on the mintmark. So in order to confirm this, we would need more examples of these, to know for sure it wasn't damage? Post an image of the full date and mintmark area and I can make a side by side to see if the location is an exact match. If the locations are different, then we know there are other examples of the same RPM and they would need to be made a different die number. (which I doubt) But I have found in the past an example where everyone was assuming only one die when there should have been two different numbers.

I had purchased this coin for the 019, but noticed there were extra areas affected on this RPM compared with the 019:

Thus the new listing for this new RPM:

Well it is not RPM-005. I used the coppercoins example. Now I need to see if they are all using the same die on other sites

It is a match to Variety Vistas RPM-005:
