Looks normal to me. I see maybe only a Die Gouge, to the right, of the mint mark.

The extra curve to the right appears to be a die gouge, though it is certainly an intriguing shape and position for such a gouge. If you can get a more zoomed-in shot of it that might help to make sure. Your lighting is good to show the topography/height of the "gouge", as that's probably what it is, but the coin is interesting enough to warrant a little more analysis. I have not seen this particular die "gouge" before and I've looked through many hundreds of BU 55-S rolls, so I'm quite interested in it whether it's an RPM or gouge or whatever.

The gouge next to the S is more plausible than the circular gouge at the 5, but weirder things have happened.

If you think the gouge at the 5 might be an RPM, try doing an overlay to determine if you can line up the "S" so it fits the shape. Just eyeballing it, I think the S punch would need to be inverted to even possibly fit an overlay of that area, but I'll leave it to you to do the overlay work and present it here.

Circling a feature in a picture that you've already pointed to and I have already addressed, and then adding no text to explain why you are doing it nor addressing my previous reply, is not a recipe for favorable responses. Why did you circle it again (this time in blue, does that have a different meaning than the red you circled it with before?), and what are you looking for that was not addressed earlier?

Maybe because I didn't understand your question?

I didn't ask a question.

Let me know what you didn't understand and I'll explain it.
