1985-D Repunched Mintmark WRPM-012

Description

With only a Coppercoins cross-reference of 1985D-1MM-017 and no CONECA attribution, WRPM-012 on the 1985-D Lincoln Memorial cent represents one of the later additions to the documented RPM population for this date. The absence of a CONECA number suggests this variety was either discovered after CONECA's primary cataloging effort or submitted only to the Wexler and Coppercoins systems — not uncommon where each organization maintains independent submission processes on different timelines. The Coppercoins designation 1985D-1MM-017 places it as the seventeenth mint mark variety cataloged in their system for 1985-D, indicating a robust total population of documented RPMs from Denver's cent production that year. While detailed die marker descriptions have not been published beyond the basic repunched mint mark attribution, the Coppercoins cross-reference provides a pathway for collectors to access supplementary reference materials. Struck at Denver on copper-plated zinc planchets at 2.5 grams and 19mm from the 1985 mintage exceeding 5.65 billion cents (Wexler ID: 1985-D 1¢ WRPM-012).
