Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74906 Posts	Posted 02/07/2024 6:46 pm Split plating and zinc rot. The U.S. Mint stopped punching the mint mark by hand into the dies in 1990, so RPM's are no longer possible. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97909 Posts	Posted 02/07/2024 8:21 pm RPM's stopped in what I think is around 1989. This is split plating and the start of zinc rot. Collecting since 1972.

Very first thing to do is look at the date - the Mint stopped hand punching in the mintmark in 1990 - so after that there is no chance of a cent having an RPM. Report this Post to the Staff
