1942 Repunched Mintmark RPM-032
Error
Description
Carrying catalog codes UVC-478 and DMR-043, this 1942-P Jefferson Nickel RPM-032 is a repunched mintmark variety on the debut year of the wartime silver alloy series. The secondary P impression documents a misaligned punch application during die preparation — no directional designation is recorded for this variety. Three die stages trace the die pair across its working life: Stage A is early die state (unconfirmed); Stage B places both obverse and reverse at mid die state; Stage C is late die state (unconfirmed). The wartime silver alloy — 35% silver, 56% copper, 9% manganese — replaced the standard 75% copper and 25% nickel composition beginning in mid-1942, with the silver nickels identified by the prominent P, D, or S mintmark above Monticello. RPM-032's UVC and DMR numbers confirm it as an independently cataloged die pair within the VarietyVista framework for the 1942-P wartime nickel repunched mintmark group.
