1936-D Repunched Mintmark RPM-013

Description

Carrying catalog identifiers UVC-183 and die marriage DMR-014, this 1936 Denver Mint Buffalo Nickel represents the thirteenth documented repunched mintmark for the date. The extensive RPM catalog for 1936-D reflects both the high production volume of 24.81 million pieces and the systematic research that variety specialists have applied to this late-series issue. Each working die received its D mintmark through a hand-punching process, and even slight variations in punch angle or position between applications created the doubled impressions that define RPM varieties. By the time thirteen distinct RPMs had been cataloged for a single date and mint combination, the depth of the research underscores how productive certain high-mintage dates can be for variety discovery. Fraser's Buffalo Nickel design was approaching its final years, with the series ending in 1938. The 75% copper, 25% nickel composition provided a durable striking surface. RPM-013 contributes to a comprehensive record of mintmark positioning variations from Denver's 1936 die preparation activities.
