| WRPM-006 | D/D East Comments: I would like to see an example of this die in earlier die state to determine if the area of doubling to the lower east is a true RPM or a well placed die gouge or scratch. The examined coin was in later die state. Cross-References: CONECA: RPM #3 Die Markers: Obverse: Lower vest abraded away. Innumerable die scratches crisscrossing throughout the obverse.
