You have to be extremely critical in your comparison and remove all biases (everyone wants their coins to have some &quot;error&quot; so most people are bias and some blindingly so).</p><p><br /></p><p>And remember, just because you have a 1952 D does not mean you have an RPM 1952 D D/D.&nbsp; there were millions made from a couple thousand working dies.&nbsp; And a singular D/D were from *one* particular working die.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you look at your 1952 D</p><p>[ATTACH=full]975085[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>and the one yours is even close to is 014 and 018.&nbsp; But we would need a better image of the date/mint mark for further evaluation.&nbsp; The harsh, undiffused, lighting from the left doesn&#039;t help either (neither do my sleepy eyes).</p><p><br /></p><p>probably more like 018, which looks like this:</p><p><img src="http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20RPMs%20Vol%201/1952-D%20Photos/1952DRPM018bg.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But, remember the mm will be a certain location to the date.
