Just found this and was quite surprised have far the separation is on two D's are. Assume this is the FS-508 RPM.

Nice! Joe Ridzy would be proud!
Hard not to like with such a wide separation! Neat find!
Very nice RPM.
Neat RPM. I’ve got to start looking closer to things.

Wow... two totally separate 'D's'..... Nice find... Cheers, RickO
Very nice find! That is a fairly common one for the Lincoln variety specialists. RPM 1 as well. This one not as much. It's RPM 16. The guy below was definitely drinking on the job.
Another good one to look for is RPM-018, which is also a completely separated D below the primary MM. You can tell -018 from -008 because the primary D is further away from the date, and the secondary mintmark is not complete, only the vertical bar and part of the bottom curve are visible.
You can also find RPM-001 with a full BIE die break, I had an example years ago and I sold it for a hefty premium over a typical example of the variety.

With finds like these, it looks like there is still some life left in searching through the old wheaties.
