1952D is a date that is on my priority list to get straightened out some day. It is not surprising at all that someone could find a large number of RPMs in that date that are not yet listed on https://www.coppercoins.com - given there are only 29 die numbers used and listed, and I am aware of well over 50 different RPMs for the date. |

Just to be clear- what is being considered as unlisted.
I recognize several of these RPMs as being described and attributed in some of my reference books.
Are we talking about unlisted on the internet, or newly discovered, undocumented coins. Once in a great while I do come across something I haven't seen before, but the vast majority of what crosses under my loupe is listed somewhere, it's just a matter of knowing where to find it.
No sarcasm intended, if this cant' be seen as a sincere and genuine question, I'll get the hint and take an internet vacation.

nevermind my question- I re-read the OP and realized this is just for Chuck. He's made an incredible impact in our world.

Many of the people here exclusively use https://www.coppercoins.com to identify their coins because it is the only reference of its kind - on the internet, complete as it can be for now, and shows marker photos. Most of the people here have not been around long enough to have bought many of the now out-of-print references that you may have, nor do they have the budget for that. They use what's better, more complete, and free. I do agree with you that there are probably 500 different varieties listed in any one of a dozen or more books that are over a decade old that are NOT YET listed on https://www.coppercoins.com, but we are working to fix that. So, when someone mentions something here that has to do with Lincoln Cent die varieties and calls it "unlisted" - you can just about always bet they are talking about my site. |

i was basically referring to coppercoins site, when I stated that these are unlisted. his is the only site that I can compare photos of coins to the coins I have in question. although liveandievarities does make a good point - that there are other sources, where they may in fact be listed. I am in no way attempting to suggest that I have any new discoveries here. any other sources that are researchable - that you could leave a link to is appreciated. I have no problem investigating and researching to try to identify my finds. I simply thought it odd that I was finding so many more unlisted (at CC), than listed - which prompted my original question.
