I'm trying to understand the term RPM in the context of a coin. Could someone explain what it stands for and how it relates to coins or possibly cryptocurrency?

When the punch is moved during the process of tapping the mallet, an unusual phenomenon occurs in minting.

They are known colloquially as “repunched Mint marks” or RPMs for short.

RPMs are highly sought-after by collectors due to their rarity and the unique insight they provide into the minting process.

Specifically, if the punch shifts position even slightly between each tap, the Mint mark on the coin becomes doubled.

In some instances, the movement may be so significant that the Mint mark is even tripled.
