This is to funny a die crack straight up and down on the tail of the 5 in date. I'm not sure if this could be a RPM-002. Thought i would ask anyways. Interesting stuff.

There are lots of cents with minor defects and errors -- they are made by the billions. In the 1960s a guy named Spadone tried to popularize (and profit) from "BIE" errors -- which were common die cracks and breaks between B and E in the word LIBERTY. The stuff had a short shelf-life and remain common and virtually worthless.
