    1956D FS501 RPM008 VLDS

    I wanted to post these photos to show just how little remains of this RPM in very late die stages. Don't overlook it as it's easy to mistake for die damage or coin damage on circulated examples.

    The key to finding them is look for that high mintmark position then look really close for remnants of the D.
    There are a few other dies with high mintmarks but it helps you narrow down which ones need a close look.

    Thanks for posting these pictures. The die progression of this RPM is very interesting.
