Need help attributing this coin, it is the first RPM I have ever found personally. Not sure what that extra metal flow on it is. Any help would be appreciated. There is nothing wrong with the reverse, if you need a pic of it, I will be happy to add it. Thanks for looking.

Welcome to the forum!
Yes, that is an RPM (either rotated or tilted). Here is a link to check through the listings. Put in 1952 for the date, Denver for mintmark, and click "mintmark varieties". See if you can match one up by using die markers/mintmark location. http://coppercoins.com/advsearch.php

Welcome to LCR chzman. You will find much more knowledgeable people on here than CCF for sure.

Thank you guys for that welcome. Seal, I believe that the 6 matches up the best like you said on CCF but how do I figure out where that extra metal flow came from?

Welcome to the forum!
It could be CONECA RPM 006 or 024 (not CC 1MM-024 which is different). Is there a die chip on the T in CENT? Is that anomaly near the D a hit?

I think it is too far south to be the #24.

That metal is raised and I will upload a pic of the reverse in just a few minutes.

If it is raised I am leaning toward it being a die chip.

I have the obverse of 006 HERE (http://lincolncentresource.net/forums/showthread.php?t=24630). I don't have a shot up of the crack on the T. What you have could be a later stage of 006 or another similar RPM not listed by CONECA. Wexler has a bunch of others. Maybe PM or email Wiles and get his view.

GrumpyEd, mine looks identical to one of those but with the RPM of course. I like the term "flying D" that break looks just like 1 wing anywho.
jcuve (http://www.lincolncentresource.net/forums/member.php?u=117) - I clicked on that link but the picks did not show a reverse of the 1952D

Def allot of info and people who like to help out, I still can't get anyone to tell me what my one lamination issue is, I believe that it may be a partial split planchet. I learned stuff there to just not as quickly, it seems.

Did you post that one here? I don't see a thread for it.
Welcome Chuck. I didn't find a match on CONECA or CC. Your location is different than 3, 6, 24 on the CONECA disk.

Coop, I did an overlay with the #6 and it was pretty close. Not sure if the OP coin was shot at a slight angle or not.

Thanks, I appreciate everyone's input. I put the coin back under the scope and will upload some new pics of the date and MM. The camera is not angled. Do I need to send this to someone for a better look?

Bob Piazza from coppercoins is going to take a look at this one, I will be mailing it to him this week. I will update this post once he sends me the results.

I joined the 1999 WAM club several months ago, this could be better than that if its something new. I am excited.

When you get a # for this one, let us all know. I bet I have a half dozen of these in my minor rolls...

Ok all, Bob emailed me the results:
This is a new listing for the files. I have assigned it number 1952D-1MM-031 and added it to the site.
Congratulations on the new addition to the coppercoins files. You can see your new addition at this link:

In the WAM club but even more excited to be in the discovery club!
Thank You all for your help!
