taurus69luv New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 10/29/2022 06:37 am I found a 1976 d penny and noticed on the word America on back that there is an extra "A" laying on its side beneath the first "A" in America.. is this something that happens often on coins? And it looks like Lincolns temple is unusually deep.. I hope I did post this correctly. Edited by taurus69luv 10/29/2022 06:38 am Report this Post to the Staff

taurus69luv New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 10/29/2022 08:34 am If you took another A and turned it sideways top towards the M then stamped the second A on top upright that's what it appears to be to me .... Is that what's called Repunched Letter(RPL)? Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 10/29/2022 1:02 pm I think it's a die chip as Mr. Frog suggested. It can't be re-punched, as the letters are engraved on the die using a Hub as a guide. Only the Mint Mark would have been punched on the obverse die used for this coin. The indention at Lincoln's temple seems to be contact damage to me. The coin has seen a lot of circulation over the last 46 years!
