Welcome. Your coin is not an RPM (repunched mintmark). It looks like plating issues/zinc rot.
I think there is also some split plating on the top of UNITED.

Nice coins, Tim.

The angle and size doesn't look quite right for RPM-003. RPM-003 looks more pronounced. My guess would be that this coin is just some die damage,...

I think we will need clearer pictures before making a definitive decision...I personally am not really seeing the telltale signs of an RPM,...
Nah, that's only greased lightning. :)
Yep, looks like the obverse and reverse were struck through grease.
If it was really struck on a dime planchet, the coin would be entirely silver-colored (no copper color visible), and it would be a lot smaller....
Separate names with a comma.
