A repunched date was caused by the date punch being hit more than once with a mallet. Some RPDs are subtle, others are very extreme. For an in-depth analysis of Repunched Dates, see Wexler's article by clicking here.

What is a Repunched coin?

A repunched mintmark error coin exhibits the same mintmark twice. This could be, say, a “D” or “S” — struck twice, and in 2 slightly different locations or angles. An over mintmark occurs when one mintmark is struck over a different mintmark from another mint.

How can you tell if a coin is mint error?

Look for coins with missing letters, misspellings, letters that are too close together, or blurry or doubled images. Make sure you examine both sides of every coin. The back and front of a coin should have the same orientation, and coins with one side differently oriented have die rotation errors.
