1952-D, D/D/D?

Hi Everyone,

I came across this 1952-D in a bag of wheat pennies I got. I have never seen a 1952-D with this much extreme mint mark error. I know in 1952 they still punched the mint marks into the dies by hand and thus created such a wonderful array of mint marks, especially for this year.

However, I can only find a variety that is somewhat similar to this one, however, it is not as extreme as this one. Let me know what you guys think.

i like it, nice find, if it were mine i,d spend the four bucks or so an get it attributed...

 

I believe this is an example of a "flying D", which is actually a die crack and not an RPM.

 

"flying D" ?? now theres something i never heard of, i like it even more now! gonna hafta recheck all my 52D's!!

 

Thanks Guys. I too have never heard of the "Flying D", although it does have a nice ring to it. The 52's are probably one of the most overlooked years for common errors and such. Thanks for the input!!
