    On Jan. 16th, I posted this commemorative under "What's It Worth" (https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1915-s-s-panama-pacific-commemorative.392038/) and was asked for better photos, especially the mint mark, when I had it in-hand. Well, I finally made my snowy trip over the Divide and into town to get it.
    These are the best photos I can get and hope they will help verify or deny that this is an S/S RPM.
    The photos posted of the RPM examples on my original post aren't there anymore (?) so I don't have anything to judge it against and can't remember who posted them and had asked for better photos.

    I've taken full obverse and reverse, and then three close-ups of the mint mark under different lighting. I personal can't see if it is a RPM or not, so hope a member with more knowledge can give me the answer.

    @Pickin and Grinin, was it you that posted those RPM photos?

    Thanks in advance for all feedback.

    Boy, after posting I realized how many scratches and gunk showed up on the close-ups. Yuck.

    Clear to you maybe, but having very limited experience with RPM, I would have missed that if the seller hadn't labeled as such. Plus, it's cloudy here. LOL
    Thanks for the feed back. I appreciate having the information.

    They can be in crazy places...like the 1977 s /s quarter the 1 s is actually horizontal and the other vertical hardvto miss that one .

    Yours thebtop loop of the S is seen with the serif.
    It looks as if they may have tried to file the mis placed mm.

    I do believe that was me. Thanks for the clearer photos. No doubt it's the FS-501. The seller's photos looked a bit different.

    Never seen that one. Is that one yours? The surfaces on that coin don't look right, if it is real and just the photos, I would say die chips.

    It's a struck counterfeit.
