1987 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Repunched Mintmark RPM-006

Description

Carrying VarietyVista identifiers UVC-1018 and DMR-007, RPM-006 on the 1987-D Lincoln Memorial cent follows the standard three-stage documentation framework: Stage A at early die state, Stage B with both obverse and reverse at mid-die state, and Stage C at late die state. The displacement direction of the secondary D punch has not been specified in the catalog, a circumstance that can arise when the repunching offset is minimal or when the secondary impression is partially obscured by the primary punch, making directional characterization ambiguous. In such cases, attributors must rely on the overall geometry of any visible doubling — extra thickness, notching, or faint traces at the periphery of the D — rather than a clear directional shadow. Each represents a unique die preparation event at the Denver Mint, documented individually for collectors who pursue completeness in their variety sets.
