1952 Cent Errors include; Struck on Dime Planchet - this coin is silver and will be smaller than a penny meaning a portion of the cent will be missing 1952 Struck on Dime Planchet errors are worth around $2,000.. Struck Off Center - Off center strikes might range from 10% off center to 90% off center. Off Center 1952 Cents will look like a partially blank coin with a portion of a non blank coin attached. When the planchet is off center and the die strikes the coin this is the result. Double Struck-1952 D has a few double strike errors. This occurs when the die strikes the planchet more than 1x.

Mintage Numbers
How much is a 1952 D Penny worth?
This section is more of a layman's guide, for those new to collecting.
In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around 15 cents, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $20 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 1952, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
