    In 1992, a repunched mint mark was impossible.

    The D was punched twice?! That must've hurt.

    On a 1992 Copper plated zinc Cents, they have plating issues around the Mint Mark that makes is seem doubled... but it is not.

    How do you know that? You have not saw a pic of the coin yet. No one has except Imthedopest1.

    Because it's a common occurrence on Mint Marks on Copper Plated Cents. And as stated on another post it can't be a Repunched Mint Mark because they were not hand punched onto the die in 1992...so years of experience (31 years) and by reason of deduction I came to this conclusion. Any other question?

    Also.. The question that the OP asked has been asked a million times before (hyperbole) and the answer is usually Die Deterioration Doubling. This causes the Mint Mark to look Doubled when actually, it is not.

    Now that you've mentioned it, when will you be posting pics?
    It's not like you haven't been asked.

    rickmp, are you asking me (u812?) OR Imthedopest1 your question of posting pics?
    I don't post pics of coins because I can not take pics and then they come out like 99.5% of the other pics on CT. No comment from you ever needed, paddywagon.

    Die Deterioration Doubling, It also sometimes causes a split plating making it look like a second D.
    As said above. Cant be an RPM. These were not hand punched into the Die.

    Listen you, Paddy's no wallflower. He can take a ribbing and keep on ticking. And he already nailed shut what this "rpm" is without even having to see it, so I don't think we're going to be requiring your help in this thread anytime soon. Just saying...

    Any help in general. And don't worry I normally never post because I'm never needed.

    That's a sourpuss attitude, @NLL. Get in here and have fun. You've got something to say, get it off your chest and say it. Don't be afraid of criticism. Criticism is how we learn from one another.

    Here is why you are being told a 1992 RPM is not possible. I wouldn't go as far to say impossible, none have been found and 2 years after ceasing, some mint workers may have smoked too much lunch and had some fun.

    http://varietyvista.com/Watershead Dates.htm

    "1990 – The U.S. Mint began punching the mintmark into the master die for the cent and nickel denominations. The last year possible for an RPM on a business strike cent or nickel is 1989. There are several known RPMs for the 1989-D cent but the last known nickel RPM is dated 1984-D."

    Exactly, no image needed to know that it can't be an RPM. usually when images are posted, it is either a plating issue or die deterioration.
