1946-S Repunched Mintmark WRPM-007
Error
Description
Cataloged by the Wexler Team and cross-referenced as CONECA: RPM #1, this 1946-S Jefferson Nickel holds the lead CONECA position for the date, indicating it was the first RPM documented for 1946-S in that reference system. Cross-referenced as Wexler Variety ID: 1946-S 5-cent WRPM-007. Die markers progress across two stages: Stage A has a small die gouge inside the upper R of TRUST; Stage B obverse has a die gouge to the right of the lower Y in LIBERTY; Stage B reverse has a small die gouge above the C in MONTICELLO. Composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel at 5.0 grams and 21.21 mm, the 1946-S was the first post-war San Francisco Jefferson Nickel after the return to standard copper-nickel composition following three years of the wartime silver alloy, making this a transitional-year variety of particular series significance.
