There are comprehensive listings of RPMs at the following sites. If it's not an exact mstch, you don't have it

Just looks like an anomaly to me.

Looks like a stain.... and no listed RPM's are even close to those images - which are very good. Cheers, RickO

I think what you're looking at is called a pareidolia.

Question.. I know that since those were hand punched, any coin within those years can have a RPM. But why do they have to match exactly when it's a human error and not machine so there could be any variations?
I'm just trying to understand the reason because that looks so much like a D, it would have gotten me too

Each RPM is unique to an individual die, so it should match a known example exactly. All coins struck by that die should have the same characteristics

It's possible to find a new RPM, but there are so many things like mechanical doubling, die deterioration, or damage that can confound a new collector, you really need to be knowledgeable of the minting and die making processes to have Any kind of success.
