Oh, hey! Yep. that looks like the one! I've used that Variety Vista site before to identify a variety of an 09-S I once had. Thanks!
I was going through a small bag of 1950s Lincolns looking for varieties. I saw this 1956D with something that LOOKS LIKE the "ghost image" of a...
Here are the ones where I mostly read, and rarely post: coincommunity.com worldofcoins.eu NGC Collectors Universe
I cropped the photos to highlight the contents. Here's what the full frame looks like: [ATTACH]
