1985-D Repunched Mintmark WRPM-016

Description

Listed without cross-references to CONECA or Coppercoins, WRPM-016 on the 1985-D Lincoln Memorial cent appears to be a Wexler-exclusive attribution — documented and confirmed within their system but not yet independently cataloged by other organizations. This single-source status does not diminish the variety's legitimacy; it reflects the independent timelines and submission processes of different cataloging bodies. Many legitimate varieties carry only one attribution reference, particularly when discovered and submitted by a single individual. The absence of published die marker details beyond the basic repunched mint mark classification means attribution relies on direct comparison with Wexler reference materials. For the broader 1985-D RPM population, WRPM-016 sits in the later portion of the catalog sequence, assigned after fifteen earlier entries — a number that speaks to the thoroughness with which variety specialists have examined this date. Struck at Denver on copper-plated zinc planchets at 2.5 grams and 19mm from the 1985 mintage of over 5.65 billion cents (Wexler ID: 1985-D 1¢ WRPM-016).
