1930-S Repunched Mintmark WRPM-014

Description

Attributed in the Wexler RPM Files under 1930-S 1¢ WRPM-014, with reference photography by John Bordner, this repunched mintmark variety is the last in the currently documented sequence of 1930-S Lincoln Wheat Cent RPMs covered here. The comprehensive nature of John Bordner's photographic contributions across WRPM-004, WRPM-006, WRPM-008, WRPM-010, WRPM-011, WRPM-012, WRPM-013, and WRPM-014 demonstrates sustained single-researcher documentation effort across the full span of 1930-S RPM entries — a methodical approach that creates a consistent visual archive enabling direct comparison between adjacent catalog numbers. WRPM-014's secondary punch characteristics are documented in those photographs, distinguishing it from WRPM-013 by the specific geometry of the offset impression. The 1930-S Lincoln cent is a recognized scarce date in the wheat cent series, and the existence of eight or more cataloged RPM varieties for the date underscores the diversity of die preparation outcomes at the San Francisco Mint in that year. For attribution, Bordner's Wexler-published photographs remain the authoritative comparison standard.
