1947-D Repunched Mintmark RPM-001

Description

Holding the primary RPM designation for the 1947 Denver Jefferson nickel, RPM-001 is cataloged by VarietyVista under UVC-354 and DMR-002. The repunching shows as D/D with the secondary impression displaced to the south. Four die stages document an extended service life. Stage A in early die state remains unconfirmed. Stage B at mid-die state shows both sides in their middle progression. Stage C in late die state records both in advanced wear. Stage D in very late die state captures the final documented condition. Adding to the variety's interest, the reverse die is itself listed as DDR-001, creating a dual-variety pairing where collectors find both a repunched mintmark and a doubled die reverse on the same coin. The southward displacement of the secondary D positions the doubled image below the primary punch, creating a vertical elongation visible under moderate magnification. The four-stage progression indicates this die pair remained in service through an unusually extended production run at the Denver Mint, offering collectors multiple die-state targets.
