This is an image of RPM-001.I looked at these before and I see this RPM in my penny, or am I just seeing something that isn't there. I see the raised image of the second MM below and to the left of the MM in my image above.

I have a 1943 D from a wheat penny grab bag I believe is a D over D. Up close it looks like there is an underlying D south-southwest of the stamped D. I just need another opinion.

The Orangutans (Genus: Pongo), are two species of great apes known for their intelligence, long arms and reddish-brown hair.

Native to Indonesia and Malaysia, they are currently found only in rainforests on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, though fossils have been found in Java, Vietnam and China. Orangutans are the only surviving species in the genus 'Pongo'.

Their name derives from the Malay and Indonesian phrase 'orang hutan', meaning 'person of the forest'. Orangutans are also known as the 'red ape' or the 'old man of the forest'. Orangutans are the largest tree-living mammals.

Here are the full images. The only problem with removing from the 2x2 is that you have no reference for the rotated die. Is this considered an error or a variety?

Sorry to have so many questions, but I guess that's how we learn. I have a coin that the reverse image seems to be struck fine, but the reverse image is about 10 degrees or so rotated off the center axis. Its a 1930 LWC and the photos with a crude center line is shown to show what I'm talking about. What kind of error would this be? A mis-aligned die?

I found this cent among a lot of wheat cents that I acquired from ebay. This is a raised area of a 1947 S wheat cent going from Lincoln's head far out into the field under the word "TRUST", almost to the rim. It looks like it may be a cud, but is there anything else this may be. Under a microscope it looks like it may be an extra piece of copper that was stamped into the obverse of the coin while it was being struck, like a piece of wire or something added to the coin blank, but I'm not positive. It wasn't added after the striking because the detail from the strike is been within the error. It's firmly on the coin as its been in circulation for 74 years and hasn't moved. I'm looking for ideas of what this may be if it's not a giant cud.
