I found 6 examples of this RPM and I can't match it up to any listed on this site. The markers are not even close to anything here and to make it a little more interesting, These 6 obverses are married to 3 different reverses. These six may be different varieties unto themselves, but I believe them to be close enough that they appear to be from the same die. Here are a couple of pics. Any opinions are appreciated.

I think the top left coin when mated to the lower left close up is #009. The mm position is right and the evidence on the mm (serifs & vert. spine) looks acceptable. Look for a die gouge dot between E & T of We Trust(EDS), a die crack over VDB(MDS) or a die chip on the lower inside left wheat grains parallel with the O of Cent. In regards to the top right coin I haven't a clue.

The two coins with RPMs you got pictured are 2 different dies, and not 1. The location of the mint mark is different for both dies, making them 2 different RPMs.

Thanks for the opinions guys. You know Gabe, sometimes things are so simple to see and yet so hard to notice. Thanks again.

JRocco, no problem. I know what you mean about not noticing things that simple. It happens to me all the time. Smile
