In it, he mentioned that the location is further to the east. Most of the top examples all show the same location; however, when you view further images, you can see some certified with the location further to the east. Can anyone explain the differences and how to properly tell if one has a known RPM? Here is one from PCGS that shows a different location: My coin for context: Edited by rlu7732 02/18/2025 9:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 02/18/2025 9:58 pm I'm no expert and not good with RPMs but a given RPM is tied to a single die/die pair and so it's impossible for that RPM to be in two different locations. I also think its feasible that that the person grading the coin at the TPG can make a mistake, especially if the MM looks very similar. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6498 Posts	Posted 02/19/2025 8:41 pm There are many, many examples of a similar RPM or doubled die receiving certification as the more valuable Fivaz-Stanton variety. Some entries are just outright wrong. The best way to get an idea of what a specific Cherrypicker variety looks like is to start on Wexler or Variety Vista, then examine full coin images on PCGS TrueView, and match them with features and markers to the Wex/VV catalog.

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7510 Posts	Posted 02/19/2025 10:18 pm I also agree with @seeker's statement. Not sure if yours is an RPM , it looks more like MD Edited by Chase007 02/20/2025 12:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6498 Posts	Posted 02/20/2025 12:50 pm I think the definitive feature of this RPM is that steeply angled split along the upright. The line inside the D loop can appear for a number of reasons, including DDD, MD, die scratches, and so forth. I think an image with light falling left to right across the mint mark (or whatever would highlight that possible split) would definitively answer the question of whether it's an RPM.
