rocktowngal Pillar of the Community United States 594 Posts	Posted 05/22/2012 1:19 pm I will have to go look up RMPs. But that is what it looks like to me. There is something there. Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 05/22/2012 1:37 pm It could be some sort of scratch or die chip, or just discoloration from circulation, or a plating issue. Before 1989, mintmarks were punched onto each individual die. After that, they are added to the master dies instead, which makes RPMs impossible. Even from the mid-70s onward it would be extremely improbably to have a D/S because San Francisco was only minting proofs and such, so there'd be no reason why a circulation die would get an "S".

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/22/2012 3:01 pm Technically, a D/S would not be a repunched mintmark(RPM), it would be an over-mintmark(OMM) which tends to be much rarer than an RPM. However, that is all a moot point since it would be impossible for a 2010 cent to have either an RPM or OMM. Report this Post to the Staff
rocktowngal Pillar of the Community United States 594 Posts	Posted 05/22/2012 3:31 pm I do not know all the technical terms...I am just learning. All I know is that I saw what I thought was a D/S. From these post I am learning that can't be. You can't say there isn't anything there...even if it is a strategically place something Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 05/23/2012 8:40 pm You're looking at crud stuck to the coin. Repunched mintmarks and over mintkars are impossible after 1989. Report this Post to the Staff
