Notes:
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.

RD (Red) versions of this coin are worth more than RB (Red Brown), and RB is worth more than BN (brown). Use the image below as reference if you are second guessing yourself on the color of a penny.

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. *** [?].
