I'm wondering if this 2004 D Iowa State Quarter has a repunched mint mark? I'm new to all of this coin stuff and ask because all other rpm's I've seen are one on top of another whereas this one appears to be side by side. Looks like there once was a D left and now there's a P to the right. If it is an RPM, do you think it would be worth much above the .25 cent value? I can take other pics if you need. Thank you in advance for your input. :)
That looks like a hit that moved some metal around. In 2004 there were no RPMs created because the mint had stopped manually adding the MM by hand in the 90's. Also if you think the there is a 'D' on this 'P' minted coin, we would call it an OMM or Over Mint mark - that too stopped.
Quote: The creation of re-punched mint marks ceased when the US mint decided to add the mint mark to the master hub so mistakes or varieties like this would not happen any longer. The US Mint started adding the mint marks to master hub dies in the mid 1990's. That means effectively that mint marks have not been produced for over 25+ years.
That has to be faked or possibly a die chip in the shape of a D. There should not be RPMs after the late 80s I believe on US coins. Can you post more/clearer photos?
Would be optimum if we could see a large, close-in, sharp image of the mint mark area. As its stands, that feature to the west of the mint mark could have been formed from a circulation hit which moved metal.
Suggest not posting photos taken of a screen. Thanks.
