1942-S CONECA RPM-002 One WEIRD RPM

[MintErrors]

I have been going through hundreds of RPM's.
I had to stop, laugh and take a moment to share this RPM with you all.
This thing is just JACKED up.
It took me some time to get the lighting correct to see the crazy amount of "S's" on this coin. I used three lights...

I will be posting only one photo. I color coordinated each "S". The Split serif to the North is the only colored arrow that is not.

How Many "S's" do YOU see?

I see 4 and a upper right split sherif but one could argue the lower left single individual is another making it 5. Wow, that is Cr@Zy mint worker was drinking at lunch that day. Nice lighting job makes it easy to count way to lead by example!!!

looks like an artistic rendering made from clay than a highly and professionally designed letter punch.

The point, Gary; I believe is trying to make, this working die has been loosened up to the point the RPM is hard to distinct from the apparent MD.
The same topic is discussed here over and over.
The point is: we need more than just one PUP. Pick Up Point to show it's an RPM not just MD affecting the top or bottom of the mintmark depending on the case at hand / viewed.

i see only 2 but it is possiblly listed as an s/s/s.

w/o studying the RPM it looks like the pivot point would possibly be the top right serif area with the 2nd S rotated counter-clockwise southeast, which is where the piece that looks like a ball-serif is sticking out.
