Is this 1959 d Lincoln cent a re punched mint mark? 0

Was looking through a roll of 1959 d cents and came upon this one… look right below the top left tip of the d….. please let me know if this is a error or not. Thanks!

Yes, but quite minor. It's probably illustrated at the VarietyVista website.

Thanks bud! Think it's worth grading or should I just card it and move on?

The premium on a minor variety barely covers the $15 fee, and 1959-D has so many similar RPMs that NGC might dismiss it as too minor to distinguish. It's more fun than valuable.

For most of the Lincoln cent varieties to be valuable enough to even think about grading it it needs to have collector demand, that usually only happens if its included in one or more of the registry sets.   Looks like this is RPM-005, I do not see this as one of the listed varieties that NGC will authenticate and verify so a cool find that you would have to send to ANACS (assuming that they would authenticate this RPM) if you wanted it graded and authenticated.
