Is this a 1971-S RPM?

Went through a few Blue Packs I have to see if any were Peg-Legs or RPM.
Sorry for the cr@ppee pict.

Note where the original mintmark comes out of the upper loop, proceeds over the top and then re-enters the upper loop. These are very definitive entry and position points. Anything other than this would not be considered "the" S/S RPM.
Now, this isn't to say that you don't have an RPM as I've seen a couple that could qualify so there could be more, its just that from looking at your photo's, your's is probably not the one thats in the CPG.
The CPG photo is 100% accurate in what you're looking for but make no mistake, this is an incredibly difficult RPM to spot with a loupe! The only one I've found was a WAG that verified under my scope! Unfortunately, I;ve had more WAG's than actual RPM's!
Here's the obverse of my coin which shows how minute this particular variety actually is:
Is there is any way to get a detailed close up of that mintmark?

But I will say that it does not look like what 19Lyds posted.
The 'loop' seems to come out of the top and go nearly all around the top curve of the 'S'.
The 'S' is also not as well defined as the one pictured.
But it's going in as a Freebie, so, nothing ventured......
Will they do RPM's on a freebie?

NO, you can get into plastic for free, and then when the coin comes back, spend $20 more for them to do a variety designation instead of $40 since its PCGS coin.

There are several die markers recently posted on the Ike Group webpage (bottom of Grandam's signature) which will help you quickly identify the S/S variety.
