<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 7292675, member: 4920"]A few days back while we were down here I went to an old forum I was joined-up in years ago and mostly lurk in now and among the interesting threads I came across this one I replied in because it was quite the education for me. While here we cringe at the slightest criticism, it's a part of the fabric, here, now, one might observe, in this thread are both CONECA and Wexler "delisting" designations they presumptively made, the Wexler designation, WRPD-001, even having made it to an ANACS slab, as such, before the delisting. The CONECA designation was a DDO (DDO-001). These both were subsequently "delisted." When I view the picture, I see obvious strike doubling, and a few random cuts in the die adjacent to the 5 in the date. This is a 1956-D cent. If you'd like to see the thread: <a href="https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=395603" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=395603" rel="nofollow">https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=395603</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>My admiration goes to these entities for correcting these listings.
