1957 (D) Roosevelt Dime - Repunched Mintmark WRPM-011

Description

Eleventh repunched mintmark cataloged for the 1957-D Roosevelt Dime, WRPM-011 documents yet another instance where the die worker positioned the D mintmark punch slightly off-target before correcting with a final strike. With eleven known RPMs for this single date-mint combination, the 1957-D stands as one of the more prolific Denver Mint dates for mintmark varieties in the Roosevelt series — a reflection of both high production volume and the inherent imprecision of manual mintmark application. Each RPM entry represents a unique working die, identifiable by the specific angle and distance of displacement between the initial and corrected punch positions. Wexler Variety ID: 1957-D 10¢ WRPM-011. Struck on 90% silver planchets weighing 2.50 grams, these dimes circulated widely before silver hoarding accelerated following the 1965 composition change. Collectors pursuing RPM varieties on silver Roosevelt Dimes value completeness within a given date, making later catalog numbers like WRPM-011 targets for advanced specialists who have already secured the earlier-numbered entries.
