1969-D Repunched Mintmark RPM-004

Description

Assigned RPM-004 for the 1969-D Lincoln Memorial cent by VarietyVista with UVC-904 and DMR-014, this repunched mint mark variety is documented across three straightforward die stages without specialized die markers beyond the repunching itself. Stage A shows both obverse and reverse in early die state (EDS), the condition most favorable for observing the full detail of the secondary mint mark. Stage B presents both sides in mid die state (MDS), reflecting moderate wear that has begun to soften the secondary impression. Stage C reaches late die state (LDS) on both sides, representing the final documented condition before the die was retired or the secondary mintmark became undetectable. The relative simplicity of this variety's documentation — lacking the progressive die scratches, cracks, or clash marks seen on some other 1969-D RPMs — suggests a die that experienced routine wear without dramatic deterioration events. The UVC-904 code in the VarietyVista Universal Variety Code system and DMR-014 in the Die Marker Reference system provide permanent catalog numbers for cross-referencing this variety across different attribution services and collector databases. Struck at the Denver Mint on a 3.11-gram, 19mm planchet of 95% copper and 5% zinc.
