Greetings folks, I think I may have found my first RPM, but I will leave that for you to judge. The coin:  The Detail:  I can see doubling in the serifs on the left side of the D. I am having a hard time getting a match on Copper Coins, because the mint mark probably has been deformed due to circulation. The closest I come is 1952D-1MM-035 pictured below:  I would appreciate your insight in the matter. Edited by smauggie

I can see it, but I would wait for better eyes to comment.  |

Tough to tell with these pics and the circulation damage. The mm location looks pretty good for mm-035 though. Can you find any of the markers?

Even though this coin seems to be in AU condition, I wonder if even that much wear is enough to make it impossible to make out those extremely fine die markings. |

It does have promise for 035. Better pictures/closups of MM and some die marker matches would help..

Looks like an RPM to me.
Errers and Varietys.

could be an RPM, the flattening it has hides much of it.

It is an RPM035 the position is correct,unfortunately the coin is in a pretty low grade to fetch any premium.

Thanks to everyone for their kind and helpful comments. So exciting, I found my first RPM! Edited by smauggie
