1945-S Repunched Mintmark RPM-001
Error
Description
Holding the primary catalog position for the 1945-S Washington Silver Quarter, this VarietyVista-documented variety shows an S/S West displacement using MMS-002 (Trumpet Tail) mintmark punch and awaits specimen submission for new high-magnification color digital photographs. Die markers UVC-0582 / DMR-014: Stage A at EDS (unconfirmed); Stage B at MDS (unconfirmed); Stage C at LDS (unconfirmed). The Trumpet Tail designation identifies a specific S punch variant with a flared terminal on the lower curve, helping researchers track which physical mintmark punches were in service at San Francisco. Designed by John Flanagan, struck in 90% silver and 10% copper at 6.25 grams and 24.3 mm. As RPM-001, this was likely the earliest discovered or most prominent repunched S for the 1945-S date, making it the reference standard for the date's RPM population.
