In earlier years, when a die which was being used to mint coins became worn so the date did not appear clear, the workers at the mint would "repunch" the date, meaning they would take punch tools with the numbers of the date and try to make the date clearer on the die. Sometimes called "recut" the more common term is "repunched". This practice was also applied to mint marks which were getting worn from use.
