This does not look like any of the know three for CONECA, nor does it match any of the 4 on Wexler's Die varieties. And to be honest does not look like a true RPM. It looks like damage to me.

First of all I would say far from "Pristine" the mint mark defiantly took a hit on the north..eastish .
Now if you think it may be close to #2 on VV close will not cut it,don`t forget the die markers # 2 for instance must have a die scratch in the troth of the "C" in America.
Any of the other two you will need to prove its place by matching everything the Dies transferred to the coins they struck. ;)

I dunno..I mean it is sitting on another D..it doesn't seem likely a little mint mark would take a hit and nothing else around it..but even if it somehow took a hit it is still crooked sitting on another D...but it doesn't match the three maybe number 2..but their photo is dark and not lit up well like mine..and I didn't take a picture of the C so..got to go back re photo that area..thanks for the inputs..will try to get another angle

Look again. Not an RPM.

MD can occur on a mint mark...see the following and note the flat shelf of the 9 and diminished width of the doubled areas of the numbers. Looks just like your D:

I'm not sure who you are asking and what drawing you are referring to. So, I'll answer for my drawing. Earle can answer for his.
I'm just using the ol' Windows Paint program.

The first and second are a combination of Mac Preview and a free app. I highly recommend called Monosnap. The pictures were not original to me (as labeled).

The third and fourth are all Monosnap.

Monosnap takes screenshots, allows selective areas to be captured, or you can drag and drop onto it. After any of those actions the picture/snapshot opens a new window allowing intuitive addition of lettering (with or without an outline to make them stand out), arrows, circles, etc.

Mac Preview is the default program with the system, but once you learn some tricks it can do the job well.

Most people only know to use preview as a picture editor by clicking on an existing picture and using editing tools. However I have a blank white "canvas" I made/save/use a copy of when I want to use Preview like it is a typical drawing program instead of just a photo editor.
