Three repunched mintmarks that show overlapping mintmarks of equal or near equal strength or shown to the right. The first image to the right shows a 1910-S Lincoln cent with a very strong S mintmark to the North and overlapped by the primary S mintmark. Photograph by Bob Piazza for Coppercoins.
The second image to the right shows a 1943-D Lincoln cent with a strong D mintmark to the Southwest and overlapped by the primary D mintmark. Photograph by Chuck Daughtrey of Coppercoins.
The third image to the right shows a 1960-D large date Lincoln cent with an equally strong D mintmark to the West wich is overlapped by the primary D mintmark. This is undoubtedly one of the most famous repunched mintmarks in the Lincoln cent series. Photograph by Richard Cooper for Coppercoins. |
