I FOUND A CENT THAT LOOKS LIKE THE '-008, BUT, THE mm is nearly touching the tail of the "9", instead of being nearly in the middle between the "9', and the "5", as in the -008. Will post photo in an edit.

Spread & Location is the two differences for a certain die number. Waiting for pictures.

Coop, there it is. Not as good as others, but with a "grab-it-and-shoot" setup, it came out better than expected!

I guess just because a car has 4 wheels, it doesn't make it a Cadillac. With out the RPM, the mint mark location is just a normal Cent.

Coop, I can't see it well enough to tellif it was an RPM, or not. The position of the MM is what caught my eye. I have only seen one, or two that close.

This coin is not the RPM-008. There are 3 known dies with the mintmark this close to the date. The one you pictured is too far west and high to be RPM-008.

Bob, that was my conclusion, as well. I was sure it wasn't an RPM, but the position is what attracted my attentiom. I checked the site, but it didn't match anything, so I posted it.
