1947 S/S RPM 4 "Sans over Serif"

[Brad]

I am in the process of adding this coin to my website. I think that it is an interesting variety. It is listed the in CPG as FS-021.31. Take a look at these two Coppercoins links. One lists an EDS for 1947 S/S rpm 4 :

The other lists a MDS for 1947 S/S rpm 7 :

http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1947&die_id=1947s1mm007&die_state=mds

They look the same, right down to the die scratches. Am I missing something???

The real question is, how can I figure out which one I have?

Brad - They are in fact the same die (might even be the same pictures). Comparing the pictures on Coppercoins to the pictures on Variety Vista, I would say that all the pictures are of 1947-S, RPM-004.

So, if your RPM does not look like this, then it will be RPM-007> there seems to be some nice die scratches between the 1 and 9 of the date on RPM-004, which should make for easy identification.
