Looking for a nice BU example of the 1956-D Lincoln Cent RPM #1 in LDS with BIE. Thanks for looking...Ray

It's pretty clear that they created a whole new galvano for this coin, and made lot of small modifications. Overall I'm surprised it is as close as it is to the 1921. I wonder if the original galvano actually exists? I'd bet the later low relief one does, but do we know the high relief one is still around?

Some of our younger members collect rolls but I am not so sure they know what to look for in terms of exterior appearance.  I wish you the best of luck!

A while back I wrote a brief "OBW Roll Buying Guide" that is posted over on Lincoln Cent Forum. I talk about a few of the things to look for to make sure an "OBW" roll is actually Original. There are quite a few factors, take a look here:
