Guys does this look like RPM to you? I'm not good with RPM, but I tried to compare with the RPM listed on VV doubleddie.com and coppercoins but can't find a match, maybe this is another thing going on here?

I attached 3 different photos with different lights mode

I feel like a broken record by saying this, after the last few threads I've looked at, but I think it is just die abrasions and maybe some clash remnants. You can see this one was heavily abraded all around the date and mm. I can see why this one gives you pause though, interesting looking to the southeast.

I'm with Makescents.
Also, I can't tell if there is an extra curve inside the upper loop.

I don't think it's an RPM. I'm thinking it's a die abrasion issue.

Thank you makecents, Petespockets55 and Errers and Varietys!

I swear guys I'm seeing a D in the first photo

I have a question, it is normal for the S to have what is look like a split? Or is my eye tricking me again? Please look at the photo that I attached.

If that were a split, I think it would be to minor to list. Usually what I do with these types of finds is put it in a 2x2 and label it in hopes of running across another. With something like this, an attributer would like to have and least one other example. Just my opinion though.

Thank you makecents! Yes it is in a 2x2 already

I took another photo of the S before I put it in the 2x2 and look weird like it is scrape or something like that.
