ramjethero Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 1:21 pm Looks like an S mint mark at the tail of the 9. I do not see any listing for an RPM like this so it has to be a well placed die chip. Sure makes you take a second look! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 4:31 pm Here is an overlay: The clash mark on the 'E' could have caused a die crack there. If a RPMs did happen though we would have seen examples of a RPM listed there on other coins. But probably the beginning of a strong crack. Report this Post to the Staff
The Detectorist New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 4:50 pm Nice eye Coop...and this (my friends) is why you should always post obverse and reverse pictures of your coin! I have seen so many posts where the experienced pros here have to ask for pictures of both sides of the coin... Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 7:53 pm Thanks for the overlay. so this is a die clash with the C of America showing under the 9? Collecting since 1972.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 8:29 pm These die cracks and chips are really quite common on 1952 cents. Some come from the tip of the 9 down to the mint mark, others do other even more crazy things. The largest is striking enough to be featured on the homepage of cuds-on-coins.com. The most famous looks like a J after the mint mark and is called the "SJ" cent and holds a small premium. Report this Post to the Staff

wheatman77 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 12/18/2021 03:57 am looks like a s to me too, and its the same size, I call rpm Report this Post to the Staff
CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 12/18/2021 08:57 am Obviously a die crack. As was stated before, quite well-known on LCs from 1952. A few Denver versions of the crack are what is known as "Flying D" (in later die states). Edited by CentSation 12/18/2021 09:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
