1985-D Repunched Mintmark WRPM-009
Error
Description
Like WRPM-005, this variety on the 1985-D Lincoln Memorial cent is listed in the Wexler catalog as needing photographic documentation — underscoring how variety collecting remains an active, evolving discipline. Cross-referenced by CONECA as RPM #8 and Coppercoins as 1985D-1MM-008, WRPM-009 has been confirmed by multiple attribution organizations despite the photographic gap. The CONECA and Coppercoins cross-references provide alternative reference materials for collectors attempting attribution, and locating a specimen for the Wexler catalog would fill an important gap in the published record. For cherry-pickers working through rolls of 1985-D cents, the absence of Wexler reference photos makes this variety harder to identify but more rewarding to discover — contributing new imagery carries lasting value. The dual "photos needed" entries (WRPM-005 and WRPM-009) for 1985-D suggest these may represent dies with lower survival rates or varieties concentrated in less-searched populations. Struck on copper-plated zinc planchets at 2.5 grams and 19mm from Denver's 1985 production of approximately 5.65 billion cents (Wexler ID: 1985-D 1¢ WRPM-009).
