Submitted By:  Lloyd Hanson

Cross References:  None known as an RPM.

Comments:  This variety was previously listed in the Wexler Files as an OMM (WOMM-004).  Further study has shown that this is not an OMM.  There is no evidence of an S punch above or below the D mint mark.  What was thought to be part of an S inside the D is straight and ends abruptly suggesting a die gouge and not an S punch.  Others may still list this as an OMM.
