I asked James to explain the term RPM for readers who may not be familiar with it. Thanks! -Editor

RPM stands for RePunched Mintmark. Mintmarks were punched into the working dies by hand up to 1990, when the mint began placing them on the master die. This hand-punching resulted in many dies showing a multiple image on the mintmark. Either the punch bounced with the hit from the mallet or the technician decided the initial hit wasn't deep enough and then misaligned the punch for subsequent hits.
