    Appears to be damage to me. Looks like the MM took a hit or two.

    Copper, being a soft metal, can be moved around on a coin when struck by another object. The MM on your coin has numerous hits and I believe one of more of those hits moved the metal to what you are now seeing.

    Didn't find the reference for any 52 D that matches the OPs coin.

    And no either did I...however if you notice the top of the D there are two serifs . 20220717_160528.jpg C:WINDOWSTempA995 - 20220716_115603.jpg
    As well a serif on the bottom as marked...and again not saying it or isn't ....as you are correct its a 70 year old coin well circulated cent... that has a lot of dirt in the D loop...but unfortunately I am out of acetone..so until I get some... it will sit awaiting a bath.
    Just wanted to hear others opinions as yes I do have a Lincoln album...1909- 2007 however they are not my strongest interest as other series are.
