So I've been sorting through a bunch-o-wheats and came across a 1952 D that I can't seem to find anything about. I'm not a Lincoln Cent expert by any means, I've searched a bit, but not found anything that stands out. Figured I'd put the experts on it. There's probably nothing outta the normal on this, I just found it and the high D stuck out to me when searching, because out of the 20 or so 52 Ds that I have in the pile this is the only one where the D is actually sitting high enough where the top of the D intersects the tail of the 9. I have found 2 other "types" in the pile with regards to the D Mint mark. Seems like this D mint mark was all over the place. Most of them the D Sits lower like the other example in my pics, the other "variety" the D is raised up a bit closer to the 9 and the 5, but nothing like this coin that I'm asking about. Here is the coin with the D up between the 9 and the 5 Here is what I'm calling a "normal" D because most of them look like this... Both coins side by side for comparison
Because mint marks were hand punched into the die in those days, they can be all over the place. There's nothing special about the placement of that mint mark. But if it had been touching a numeral in the date...
