1958-D 5c in Double Mint Set - Possible RPM-005, FS-501

It's closer to RPM-005 than the other four RPMs listed on Variety Vista, but I don't think it's close enough.

Is this even an RPM, or is something else going on?

Thanks!

It could possibly be a D/D north WRPM -001,
in a much earlier die state. The positioning is very close.

To me it looks like a d/d tilted. Is that a part of a D running through the center of the mark? or an artifact of the lighting?

@Paddy54 is real good with varieties maybe he can help.

 

Let me look in my references but off the top looks to be a die chip more so an rpm.

 

Very interesting looking at all wrpms from 1-10 listed for this date and mm. There are none even remotely close including all the D/ Horz D known varities.
I am good at varities no claim to being an expert...that said you may want to send it into have it attributed.
My best guess even thought there are known D/D rpm for tbis date is a chip, Now again it could be a different die state.... or a new find...... neat coin.

I tried capturing the mm from different angles. I'm more confused now.

I appreciate you all applying your experience to this mystery.

 

So my thoughts ,I would send it in....it very well maybe be a new variety. I'v have looked at all references I have and know of to match it up nada. However from what I'm seeing there's something going on.

 

I'll have to file Mr. Wiles letter under "Why didn't I think of that?".
