1960-D Repunched Mintmark RPM-023
Error
Description
Available in Mint Sets according to VarietyVista comments, RPM-023 is a D/D East repunched mintmark variety on the 1960-D Large Date Lincoln Memorial cent. This Mint Set provenance means collectors can potentially locate examples in original government packaging, offering both high-grade specimens and enhanced attribution confidence. Cataloged as UVC-664/DMR-032, the die spans four stages across what appears to be two reverse pairings. Stage A (EDS): obverse is EDS, light die crack from lower right cornice into field at EMDS, die chip on left base. Stage B (MDS): die scratch under GOD, stronger die crack from lower cornice at LMDS. Stage C (MDS): obverse is MDS, reverse die changed at EMDS. Stage D (LDS): obverse is LDS, light die chips on columns 1, 2, 11, and 12 at MDS, die chip on right cornice. The eastward repunch direction indicates the initial mintmark was placed too far west, requiring a correction punch shifted to the east. The combination of Mint Set availability and the eastward repunch makes RPM-023 a particularly accessible variety for collectors who prefer examining uncirculated coins rather than searching through circulated rolls.
