I have a large pile of Lincolns that I have been going through and I found these that I need some clarification about the mint marks. I'll post the pics first.

I think the 29 and 39 are machine doubling. However, the "S" on the 29 is tripled. The second one looks liked the "D" is doubled.

Have you checked out the search link on the homepage? It's towards the top left of the page.

You can compare your coins with the pictures of the other known varieties. There are die marks which can help you verify which coin you have got.

The 53-D looks like 1953D 1MM 001, or maybe 002, but I'm new so be sure to see what the more experienced guys here say. The other dates I don't know.

I think you got it right, the 53 is a nice RPM.

The other 2 look like MD, seems like 29-S cent's often have MD on the mintmarks.
