1952-S Repunched Mintmark RPM-004
Error
Description
Cataloged under UVC-231 and DMR-006, the 1952-S Roosevelt Dime RPM-004 presents a westward S/S repunched mintmark, with the secondary S impression shifted to the west of the primary punch. The mintmark is classified as MMS-002, the Trumpet Tail style characteristic of San Francisco Mint production in the early 1950s. Struck in 90% silver, these dimes represent the classic silver Roosevelt Dime composition maintained through 1964. The westward offset distinguishes RPM-004 from the eastward RPM-002 cataloged for the same date, with both varieties sharing the Trumpet Tail mintmark style as a common diagnostic element. Collectors working through the VarietyVista catalog of 1952-S Roosevelt Dime repunched mintmark varieties use the combination of directional shift and MMS style to differentiate between the documented RPM entries for this date.
