1969 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Repunched Mintmark RPM-006

Description

Listed as RPM-006 for the 1969-D Lincoln Memorial cent by VarietyVista with UVC-926 and DMR-007, this repunched mint mark variety is documented across three die stages with relatively sparse additional die markers. Stage A is cataloged as EDS but remains unconfirmed, indicating that while the variety's existence is established, the earliest die state specimens have not yet been photographically verified to attribution standards. Stage B confirms both obverse and reverse in mid die state (MDS), representing the primary reference condition for this variety. Stage C reaches LDS but likewise awaits confirmation. The 1969-D date carries historical significance as part of the final generation of hand-punched D mint marks on Lincoln cents, a practice that would eventually be supplanted by dies manufactured with the mint mark already incorporated into the master hub. Struck on a 3.11-gram, 19mm planchet of 95% copper and 5% zinc at the Denver Mint.
