Here's a picture of a 1949-S RPM Franklin... don't see it listed in the Flynn Wexler book or Cherrypickers Guide. Anyone recognize this one? Also, what is the best on-line reference for Franklins?

I'm looking, but do I see post mint damage, like a scrape/mash on the top half of the S ?

That's RPM-001, not excessively rare but a nice variety.

The rare ones are RPM-002 & 003. I've only seen two examples of RPM-002, never seen RPM-003 before.

Turns out, RPM-003 is very common, but easily overlooked.
