So I know that this would be the least desirable OMM of all the OMM errors, however, if you look (I could be imagining things because hey, we all do that right?) at other known OMM from 1952, they are showing the S to the South of the D where this is clearly to the North (again assuming it is what I think it is) and then another something possibly to the west of the D? I marked both with red arrows in one of the two pics. Also I think there is some doubling on the 2 but I don't know what that all is. I can take more pics if necessary, I just was recording pics of all of my coins to go back and look at later and noticed this one in particular. Thanks again to everyone for all of your help :) I am still new at this and haven't found my super cool treasure yet if you know what I mean ;) So I am particularly excited still.

I think what you are seeing here is post strike or post mint damage. Look closely at the 5 of the date and you can see where this coin took a hit on the top left corner and the right side curve. You can also see where the mint mark has been hit, pushing the metal from the top part of the D towards the lower left. I think the other two spots may be hits as well or corrosion.

Keep looking, there are some nice finds out there!
Rest in Peace

Looks like the D took a hit.

The "5" and the mint mark are affected, This was probably damage from a vending machine (gum ball) or a coin wrapper.

I've got one similar to this and would like the groups consensus as well, so I'll start a new topic on it!
Wait one......
