CaptJeffWorthFL Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 09/06/2022 6:12 pm I looked on Wexler's, Variety Vista and cannot find this RPM. This leaves me to question if it is in fact an RPM. The boulder die chip in the 9 is throwing me off and I cannot match through die markers. Maybe you have seen this one so I can give it a variety designation or identification. If this isn't an RPM.... oh boy! Not a big deal but need confirmation. Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/06/2022 6:40 pm This looks promising to me. There are many very similar RPMs with the slightly rotated S and doubling like this along the upper bend. Did you check coppercoins? Report this Post to the Staff
CaptJeffWorthFL Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 09/06/2022 7:30 pm @SamCoin gonna check now. Completely forgot about copper coins. Thanks for the reminder! Report this Post to the Staff
CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 09/06/2022 7:56 pm Congrats. Def an RPM. Looks to be RPM6 at a later die stage [with a new reverse] than VarietyVista shows. Only four 'S' RPMs in 1954 that are directly below the 5. That die had a long life. Edited by CentSation 09/06/2022 8:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CaptJeffWorthFL Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 09/06/2022 9:18 pm Thanks guys! My eyes hurt after looking at so many different 1954 S RPM varieties on 3 different sites. CentSation I will take the RPM6 and put it on the flip for now. Thank you all for the help identifying this one. Report this Post to the Staff

CaptJeffWorthFL Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 09/08/2022 12:29 am -makecents- I had a feeling that is was the 006. I just couldn't find the markers. Plus the filled 9 in the date threw me off course. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/08/2022 12:36 am Die markers change as the die ages. Best way to identify RPMs is by mint mark position, in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8777 Posts	Posted 09/08/2022 08:03 am Markers are fine to use but as Sam said, the RPM and mm location are your first and most important "markers". Depending on the die stage, you may show or not show certain markers and you may even have a stage that has not been confirmed and listed yet. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 09/12/2022 1:35 pm @CentSation - Agree with RPM-006, later die stage, new reverse. @CaptJeffWorthFL - You should be able to see the obverse marker (Die Crack on Shoulder) I found one of these a while back and was totally stumped by the die break in the date. I was able to identify the obverse marker on mine, it was hard to see but with the right light angle it popped. The reverse on your coin seems to match mine also. Report this Post to the Staff
