Thanks so much Daggarjon! Yer great! Very interesting site!!

 

Lol, I was going to post that. RPMs can come in different forms. I am trying currently to do a set lol.
Here is a pic I have of one. Here is another. Notice the difference? Each one has different varieties, that is why you will see numbers such as RPM #001, RPM #018, etc. Hope this helps, and the site Dagger posted is what I would think to be the best place to go to learn more about them. :thumb:

Try this site. You can find pictures of almost every Rpm and Double die Cents.

A repunched mint mark is simply where the mint mark was punched into the die more than once. Typically, you can see doubling, or traces of the second mintmark. There are also over-mint marks, in which say a denver die was sent to San Francisco, and they punched an S over the D, or vice versa.

 

The mintmarks were punched into the dies at the Philadlphia mint before they were shipped out.
