1937-S Repunched Mintmark RPM-001

Description

Carrying the RPM-001 designation as the primary repunched mintmark for the 1937-S Washington Quarter, this coin represents the most prominent S/S repunching cataloged for the date. Struck in 90% silver at the San Francisco Mint, this Depression-era quarter was produced during a period of low mintage that makes surviving collectible examples scarce. John Flanagan's Washington Quarter was only five years into production, and hand-punching of mintmarks at branch mints created frequent opportunities for misalignment. Documented by VarietyVista with codes UVC-0074 and DMR-003, the variety has been tracked across three die states: Stage A in early die state (unconfirmed), Stage B with both sides at mid-die state, and Stage C in late die state (unconfirmed). The RPM-001 position typically denotes the most visually impressive or earliest-discovered repunching for a date, making it a natural starting point for collectors building an RPM set of early Washington Quarters. San Francisco quarters from the 1930s combine 90% silver content with Depression-era scarcity and the hand-crafted character of individually punched mintmarks.
