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.
