Comments: The
original Stage B of this die was discovered to be a different die by mint mark
placement. It has been relisted as
WRPM-082. Also of note, the original WRPM-023 listing also previously showed the
die listed by CONECA as RPM #28 in James Wiles’ The RPM Book Second Edition:
Lincoln Cents as a cross reference.
This die (which has since been deleted by CONECA) was shown to have a
possible RPM north, but did not have the split serifs seen here, and has been
removed from the cross references for WRPM-023.
