Good Morning! Wondering if I could get a little help from those that are better at this than me. I keep thinking this is a RPM but just not sure. I found something on Vista (RPM-001) that looks similar. I see a small spot south of the top loop of the S and maybe south of the middle. Thank you all! Happy Hunting!

The photos are to grainy to really see but i do not think this is an rpm
i agree with eric — not an rpm. the varietyvista listing you referenced has a north spread with a split in the middle of the mintmark that isn’t present on your coin. there’s a flat spot under the upper loop of this mintmark punch that tends to catch light and create an illusion of doubling on dies where it’s punched deeply enough — i think that’s what you’re seeing.

I have to say Boo! Haha!! Eric, Keegan I greatly appreciate you taking the time to look. I have to admit I did get a little excited or hopeful, that I found one. Still drinking milk when it comes to varieties and so forth. Thanks guys!
