FREE: 1989 D Lincoln Cent Repunched Mint Mark (RPM) Coin?

c'mon man reallly??? someone who has any value for their time would not take the time to try and replicate a repunched mint mark on a 1982 cent. I went through about $1.50 worth of cents and found 2 like this. 1982 and post, cents have a very thin layer of copper bonded to a zinc core. And during the striking process it can rupture the thin copper layer, exposing the zinc core and this is called plating split doubling. I lean towards RPM because it is the only error that occurs on the obverse. And plating split doubling will typically also occur on the motto when the planchet's copper layer is easily ruptured. In the end, I leave it up to the bidder decide. Either way, be it a RPM or Plate Split Doubling; it's a neat coin to add to a collection for free

scmplummer are you funtoysnstuff too??? I'm confused...anyways, sorry bud, I got up this morning with a pair of boxing gloves on...and I took the comment with an accusatory spin. You were just trying to expand your knowledge of coins and I took it the wrong way and I apologize for that. I'm always thrilled to hear about people taking an interest in coins

you guys are hardcore, but hey whatever wins auctions in the end

anytime...it's almost impossible to know everything there is to know about coins, but it sure is fun trying to get there

thanks Mrs. T...it's great to hear about kids starting coin collections. Coins are great because they will always be worth something ;-)

Caminokid! great to have have yuh...grab your towel and take a dip in the bidding pool; the points are low :)
