1941-S Repunched Mintmark RPM-007

Description

Cataloged as UVC-105, DMR-009, this 1941 San Francisco Mint Lincoln Wheat Cent exhibits a repunched mintmark where evidence of the initial S punch position remains visible alongside the corrected final placement. Three die stages have been documented: Stage A shows both obverse and reverse in EDS, Stage B is MDS (unconfirmed), and Stage C is LDS (unconfirmed). The 1941-S Wheat Cent was struck in 95% copper at San Francisco during the last pre-war year of standard composition production. Multiple repunched mintmark varieties have been cataloged for the 1941-S date, with RPM-007 representing one of at least seven documented die pairs showing secondary S impressions. Each RPM listing reflects a unique working die with its own distinctive repunching direction and strength, providing collectors with multiple attribution targets when examining 1941-S cents. The three documented die stages allow sequencing of specimens across this particular die pair's production life.
