I don't usually post examples here as they tend to get lost, but here it goes. I have a nice example of a MDS 1942-S die 1 with RPM. This would be a class IV (black arrows) and a RPM south (white arrows). This example was clear enough to see the doubling in the ear, eyelid and parts of the upper motto.
Okay...not immediately CLEAR, JC. Hahaha.
I would have guessed it too if it wasn't for that meddlin kid.
I'm really diggin Wendell's knowledge and quick thinking. YOU ROCK BRUDDAH!!!
Cleaned. Yep. Even so, it was purdy.
But, another question... isn't quite unusual to find an repunched mint mark and a doubled die on the same side of a coin?

Yep a twofer - unusual - I think that is why they made a big deal about it in the CPG...
I originally had this variety listed as the 1949S-1DO-001 on coppercoins. However, when I was comparing the 3 of them I had, to see which one was a better specimen, I discovered the RPM, and made that one coppercoins die-002. This, after they had been in my collection for 15 years! Even I miss things folks.

Ther are actually quite a few in pennies and nickels both, Just have to look......
The nice thing is they usually command a higher premium for the combo...
Why I feel it looks like MDD and not double die??? I know there is a big difference between them, and I honestly love both types of doubling, but I constantly find MDD's and list them, and hate it when buyers start giving me comments like: "that is a machine double die, is not worth nothing" peronally I think MDD's are cool (bold ones) Nice coin! I just bought a micro to be able to inspect mint ,arks as close as possible, great job on the pictures too!!!
One key feature to note about this being a doubled die and not machine doubling is that the doubled area does not remove the size of the design elements. For this doubled die, if you take away the doubled area, the date is a normal size. In the case of machine doubling on the date of a coin, however, removing the doubled area results in a smaller date size, an indication that it was not truly doubled.
I would suggest focusing on RTY, in particular the Y. MD is typically flatter and will cut into the device making it smaller; all of the doubled areas on DDO-001 are normal sized with the doubling making it larger.
