One thing I noticed about your coin, you can see remnants of the upper curve of another errant C mintmark nestled between the eagles claw and arrow nock. There was an attempt to polish the initial C, but you can still see the remnants. I’ve looked at numerous examples of this coin and all have this feature, leading me to believe that all coins were struck from a single pair of dies. Understandably so since there were only 9,056 minted. Just something I noticed. No mention of an RPM in any references, unless Breen recognized it. I do not know.
