<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 4263049, member: 106826&quot;]Here are the subject reference coin links:</p><p><br /></p><p>Coppercoins: <a href="http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1952&amp;die_id=1952d1mm016&amp;die_state=mds" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1952&amp;die_id=1952d1mm016&amp;die_state=mds" rel="nofollow">http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1952&amp;die_id=1952d1mm016&amp;die_state=mds</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Variety Vista: <a href="http://varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20RPMs%20Vol%201/1952DRPM016.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://varietyvista.com/02a%20LC%20RPMs%20Vol%201/1952DRPM016.htm" rel="nofollow">http://varietyvista.com/02a LC RPMs Vol 1/1952DRPM016.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Coppercoins 1952D-1MM-016 crossreferences to CONECA’s 1952D RPM016 on their page (along with Wexler’s 1952D WRPM-039).&nbsp; But I agree with Pickin and Grinin…the VV images show a coin that has a similar appearance regarding the divots in the field about the mintmark but the mintmark itself is in a lower position.&nbsp; Looking at Coppercoins 1952D-1MM-017, there is a similarity with their 016 reference coin but no reference to the CONECA crossreference.&nbsp; Things can’t be perfect, but it would have been convenient if the 017 listings for each were like the 016 listings.&nbsp; Here is that listing: <a href="http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1952&amp;die_id=1952d1mm017&amp;die_state=mds" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1952&amp;die_id=1952d1mm017&amp;die_state=mds" rel="nofollow">http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1952&amp;die_id=1952d1mm017&amp;die_state=mds</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In this listing, it isn’t quite as south at the 016 listing at Variety Vista.&nbsp; It better fits the OP’s coin.&nbsp; Additionally, the markers are different for this coin (note: this is extremely helpful with determining attribution on coins with similar appearances, e.g. DDO, DDR, RPM, etc.).&nbsp; For this reason, I would look at the markers for the -016 and -017 listings at Coppercoins to attribute this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>This ended up being a great example of the sometimes disconnect between attributing sites (bound to happen) and the need to find markers.&nbsp; I&#039;m glad P and G pushed the discussion further.&nbsp; This should help the newbies to variety hunting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
