    The first pic a regular 1956. The rest the oddity. A4679E20-EF6F-43AE-8A33-B491285AC2D6.png On the loop of the 6 it appears the d mm was repunched. The six loop comes all the way to the spine of the six, abnormal. Also it look like the metal is raised up a second time inside the loop of the six. The first picture is a regular 1956.

    Your coin has been hit and damaged. Ever seen a cashier open a roll of coins on the edge of a cash drawer? They sometime crack it open like an egg and it causes damage to the coins.

    and the above is one of a BaZillion ways a coin can get damaged.

    look up Coin Rolling Machine damage and you'll also see how it can deform, distort, etc the letters and numbers around a coin similar to yours. And with the money recirculation that occurs most coins will get damaged by that ONE process, which is one of a bazillion ways a coin can get damaged. And there is nothing that prevents a coin from getting damaged multiple times by multiple ways.

    The 6 has hit. Since copper is soft the metal moved. It's PMD or Post Mint Damage.

    ...the hit on the 6...the topmost metal of the right loop was shifted over to the left, creating what looks like a hole of a “d”...usually a hit just creates a contact mark or flattens the numeral or letter...we all agree to PMD...copper is a soft material and is easily moved this way....Spark
