If it a D over S it would be an OMM not an RPM. but not sure which it could be (if anything). Time for some research on this one... BRB.

Looks like an RPM with a Die Chip forming on the top.
Errers and Varietys.

It's all die chips and breaks, on the north side of the mm, on top of the mm and starting at the southwest serif. Yours is an early stage of what is referred to as a "Flying D". Here is one CoinHI posted. LINK http://goccf.com/t/407911 Here is another. http://goccf.com/t/379633

That is interesting Makecents, but not 100% sold yet.

Hmm, interesting. Would be curious to hear what Tanman or Tropicalbats think.

I apologize, Dearborn, got out in the fast lane, there is an RPM there. Looks to be a later version of VV's RPM-009. I'll get some pics up shortly. I feel comfortable with what I said about the cracking and chipping areas though. It looks like the Stage A and Stage B in VV's listing is backwards though, at least to me. VV's RPM-009 http://varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20...2DRPM009.htm See what you think. The chipping areas look right but the location looks just slightly off though. If gros shot this pic at an angle, that may be the difference though.

The 52s are loaded with damaged bottom serfs and die dents around the MM. I think it is 009 also.

For sure they are similar, but it does not look like RPM-009 to me. Not sure what the "S" looking thing at the top is. Probably need to view it in hand under stereo microscope and do overlays to be sure. It is most likely a die gouge but the shape is interesting enough to warrant more investigation.

I agree with rmpsrpms. Must be see in the hand.
The RPM ? is possible but the like S upper and left side bottom of the MM go for OMM. A dual combination yes could be. Must be analyze in hand. Bill, you can choose who will analyze your coin.

I agree with all and with the call name "rmpsrpms", the OP should let you look it over.

Any of you guys want to see in hand? I have 6 or so. Send me an address in my email and I will mail one to any of you. More than happy to do that. Bill

I still think it is a closer match to VV RPM-024: the split serifs match more closely to a slightly D/D rotated CW, as opposed to the RPM-009 with a D/D South

No Bill: you better go with Tanner (Wex site new owner) as is Tanman here, rmpsrpms or TB (TropicalBats). Then if with the result Mike could write an article it is a new thing.
