1964-D Repunched Mintmark RPM-008

Description

RPM-008 on the 1964-D Roosevelt Dime shows the D mintmark over a previous D rotated clockwise (D/D Rotated CW), attributed by VarietyVista. The obverse die is identified as ODV-00? (feature: ?9). Die markers are UVC-487 and DMR-035. Stage A is in early die state (unconfirmed). The 1964-D Roosevelt Dime is the final year of the 90% silver Roosevelt Dime series — giving RPM varieties on this date the added appeal of both error and silver coin status simultaneously. After 1964, Roosevelt Dimes transitioned to copper-nickel clad, making 1964 the terminal year for silver dime varieties. The rotated-clockwise displacement is a specific and visually identifiable form of repunching — the secondary impression angularly offset from the final mintmark rather than shifted in a cardinal direction. The ODV-00? designation indicates a numbered obverse die variety series for 1964-D dimes, with the feature involving the 9 in the date. UVC-487 and DMR-035 provide the die marker pair for confirming attribution on the last silver Roosevelt Dime.
