1986-D Repunched Mintmark RPM-005

Description

Cataloged under VarietyVista identifiers UVC-1004 and DMR-006, RPM-005 on the 1986-D Lincoln Memorial cent is documented across three die stages — Stage A at early die state, Stage B at mid-die state, and Stage C at late die state — all carrying unconfirmed designations. The three-stage progression suggests this die saw considerable service within Denver's production run, yet none of the examined specimens produced die marker evidence strong enough for definitive stage confirmation. Unconfirmed designations reflect an honest limitation in the attribution record: the repunching has been identified, but the specific die state specimens lack clarity needed to lock each stage with certainty. For cherry-pickers, the unconfirmed status represents an opportunity — locating a specimen with sharply defined die markers could elevate one or more stages to confirmed status. Struck on copper-plated zinc planchets (97.5% zinc, 2.5% copper) at 2.5 grams and 19mm.
