1971-S Repunched Mintmark RPM-005

Description

Cataloged by VarietyVista as RPM-005 (UVC-1226, DMR-007), this 1971-S Proof Washington quarter features a repunched S mint mark, completing the documented RPM series for this date in the VarietyVista catalog. Three die stages are documented. Stage A is provisionally early die state, unconfirmed. Stage B is provisionally mid-die state, unconfirmed. Stage C is provisionally late die state, unconfirmed. The 1971-S Proof quarter was struck at San Francisco for annual Proof sets and not released into general circulation. UVC-1226 and DMR-007 are the VarietyVista references linking this die pair to the 1971-S Proof die inventory. Where direction-of-offset data has not been confirmed for RPM-005, the UVC and DMR codes provide the definitive markers distinguishing it from RPM-003 (Southeast) and RPM-004 (North). Specialists should consult the full VarietyVista die marker profiles — including obverse and reverse stage notes — as the primary attribution tools, using the secondary S impression as confirmation.
