Not sure if this is an RPM or not, these S's from the 50's are tough. There are so many of them.

At least this one is in nice condition.

I see the images, but cannot tell for sure with the lighting provided. My inclination is to say no, because it could be a part of the indentation caused by the punching, but it does sort of resemble the hook like on 1940S-1MM-007...just not sure.

I would either need to see the coin or a better image with more revealing lighting.

Either way that's a nice coin.

Needs to be diffused some to break up the sparkling (tissue paper, milky plastic, etc), and needs to be more direct-onto the coin so the fields are lit and the sides of the devices are in shadow. Easier said than done, it takes practice to get it right.
