Looks like a RPM, but the separation and location is different than 007. I'll send you a Tile location for each side by side email.

Re-checking your image, there is a lot of shadow on the West side of the mintmark. I guess I would need an image from the light above the date/MM area to be sure.

Thank's Coop,

I edited a picture above. It look's close just by eyeballing it, it's difficult to tell since I don't have the equipment you guy's have yet. I'm still working on that.

Here is a similar but different one than posted above. The Serif has a different pattern inside the lower curve. It still has the glob's of CU on both top and bottom curve.

David: I believe they are both from the same die. Check out the die scratches under ithe 9 in the date. In the RPM book 007 has the die scratch also. But the one on the site doesn't. So it may be a later marker for your coin. But as far as being the same as 007, I'm not convnced yet. The separation is strong on the 007 on the site, but as the die wears in that area the separation also wears and fills in the separation. So I'm mark both of these as keeps till we know for sure on it status.

I agree with Coops assessment entirely. As he stated, there is strong separation on the 007 die. Die wear and circulation can really affect the look of some of these RPMs. There is a good possibility that because of circulation, an RPM looks totally different than it originally was. That is where mintmark positioning and marker info comes in handy. Overlays or grids also help.
