You'll have to be a bit more elaborate with your question.
If you're looking for the known 1960D cent with the large over small date, it has a rather obvious wide north repunched mintmark as well.

Chuck,
f you're looking for the known 1960D cent with the large over small date, it has a rather obvious wide north repunched mintmark as well.
Are you referring to the 1960D-1MM-100?, with the MM touching, or nearly touching the "9"?
Dick

Yes...that's the one. The RPM and the doubled die are on the same die - always.

Thanks, Chuck. I looked ot up on site, because I can't read my notes. Sure wish I had completed the editing, and filing in excel, before my eyes went bad.. The MM was what led me to the right one.

Thank you, all...you answered my question. I'm going through 50# of cents we amassed over the last 30 or so years and have lots of 60-D's...just dont want to overlook what I dont know I'm overlooking.

not a problem - the lg/sm date is also relatively easy to spot because the inside of the zero looks like a small date but the outside looks like a large date.

Here an example so you don't just have to visualize it.  |

Yes, it is. Now if I can just think like a die, instead of a planchet, maybe I'll get one right!

Wow...that's a seriously cool RPD/RPM! I doubt I'll ever find one of those, but I'll sure try  |

It's technically a doubled die, not a repunched date. A repunched date notes that the date was punched, thus repunched. Dates haven't been punched into cent dies since Indian Head cents. In fact none of the 20th century series of US coins have repunched OR over dates. Both have to have been punched...the date has been 'hubbed' into the dies from a master for nearly a hundred years now. |

Ah...so it's a "double hub" using two different hubs? Thanks for the clarification since I mostly know IHCs!  Edited by KurtS

Good information, I'm going to do the same thing (thingee will be doing). Anyone know the value of a 1960D cent with the large over small date or even the 1960D-1MM-100

Silver Gorilla: The example above is both the 1960D-1MM-100 and 1960D-1DO-001, a doubled variety. A Doubled Die (Die hubbed with two different hubs small date first large date second. This was a transitional when they switched from small to large dates.) and also a RPM. Besides this one there is also three proof doubled dies with the large over the small dates. There are a few others for 1960 doubled dies, but that number I don't know right now.
