1977-D 1c, RPM - I'm not finding any references

#1 Unread post by RLGriffith »

Good morning good day,

I hope this note finds everyone doing well. This morning I found a 1977 D Lincoln Memorial Cent and it appears to definitely have a repunched mint mark. Perhaps a d / d? Anyway, I am not finding this in any of my online references or my one hard copy reference book.

Might any of you dedicated and wonderful people have seen this before or have any references for me?

Thank you kindly in advance for your time,
Robin

It may be helpful to review how and why RPMs occur

It looks like a spot on this mark is raised - if it's the case (can you check and write about it here? it would be helpful!) this may be a die chip.

Typically when you do not find one referenced, then it is not an RPM, but something else has happened to it. Your picture is too fuzzy to see for sure, but it looks like yours has simply taken a hit and the metal of the D moved.
