New 1956-d rpm Here is my find to start... Notice South and West (to me anyway) it looks like the outline of a D. Here is another view. The 1956 RPM-008 has a outline of a D directly south, so it isn't that one. Here is pic. My other thought was the D/D/S OMM2 Background and Picure 1956 D/D/S WOMM # 1 Fivaz Stanton Numbers: Not Listed Breen: not listed Coneca: RPM #12 Wexler: WOMM-001 The 1956 D/D/S WOMM-001 is a very interesting variety. The coin exhibits a D punched almost directly over a D with an S mintmark punched lightly northeast of the D's. The parts of the S that touch the D's can be seen best. This is a controversial OMM because of the weakness of the S mintmark. Coneca still lists this variety as rpm#12. The complete outline of the S can be seen only on late die stages. Late die stage coins are very scarce and demand a much higher premium. On early and middle die stages, die scratches can be seen running southwest to northeast across the date and mintmark. In late die stages, these die scratches are gone. This coin is known as 1956 RPM #12, 1956 D/D/S OMM#2, or WOMM-001. Do not confuse this coin with WDMM-001. This coin is the #4 most wanted in The Complete Price Guide and Cross Reference to Lincoln Cent Mint Mark Varieties by Brian Allen and John Wexler. It looked to low to be this one and again I noticed an outline of a D below. Everyone's Thoughts here would be appreciated. Thanks
Maybe I am seeing things but here...I cut the bottom of the D off the mm and filled it in similar to thelincolncentresources D/D/S OMM overlay. No laughing at my artwork. Who knows, I have gone through a lot of coins today, so maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me. , The arrows in this one are pointing to the little mark (similar to the mark on the D/D/S. The rest of the S isn't visible) Image with drawn in D and bottom of original Mintmark pasted in.
