Hey coinnoisseurs can you confirm if it's a match? Has the die chip on the right wheat but not sure if the MM.

While the top left part of the S looks similar to the VV example, I think that your MM is not a match. I do not see that big die dent coming out from the 9, and the die crack on the reverse is not even close to a match on VV.
It is possible that it is just a circulation hit.

Trying as hard as I can, I still don't see it. I do see that big "crack" on reverse.

I totally agree that it has PMD, but it does look like a match if you forget about the circulation hit, the die crack is in the exact location and MM as well.

Alonzowick90, as I have told you a few times before, the mm location needs to be exact. If you look at them side by side, you can easily see that yours is further east than VV's 003. Notice how yours is under the tail of the 5?

That being said, yours does look like an RPM, just not VV's 003. Yours looks to have a split in the upper serif that I have an arrow pointing at.

It's an RPM, but not RPM-003. Remember, the mint mark location and die markers have to exactly match. It can't be close, it's has to match exactly.

There are a few other possibilities on coppercoins.com. What about positioning the light from the top instead of the bottom, so the notch is more visible?

I can't seem to take good pictures at night without the natural lighting plus this iPhone doesn't do justice regarding quality.

Don't know how but that "split" may be a shadow effect or a well placed hit. But is seems to fade in the pictures at different angles...
