1956 D Lincoln Cent

Any comment on this Lincoln cent?

 

I see when magnified the Mint mark looks possibly doubled and one has the mint mark up close to the date. I included one picture of a normal date with mint mark (first picture).

There is more metal flow than usual. I'm unsure if the coin would be a bonafide doubled die.

Not a double die, minor repunched mint mark. I did not see it listed in the top 50 RPM's and I don't think it would have any premium.

This is what I got from The LRC Top 50 RPM's (Repunched Mintmarks).

WRPM 18 Top 100

 

I would think the one I found might just be a new Type---did I say that right---or a new find?

That close d is really neat however.

The RPM is also CONECA's RPM-006, which is a more widely recognized reference. The mintmark tucked up under the date is fun, but variety collectors don't consider it to be noteworthy, as there are many Lincoln Cent dies with odd mintmark placements.

Mint marks were punched into each working die. Position, orientation and depth will vary. No premium unless it is something spectacular.

This SITE should help you out. Just hit the Die Variety Search link on the left and fill in the details you're looking for.

Thank you everybody. I figured that there was nothing interesting.

 

One thing I got out of it was nobody asked for a better picture so I guess my little Andonstar USB Microscope took some good up close pictures.

 

Thanks again!

Your detail photos are just fine.

This is a listed RPM (CONECA RPM#6) so is of interest to LC RPM collectors. This type of RPM, with CCW or CW rotation as only distinguishing feature between mintmarks, is not as valuable as one with wider separation, but they do command a premium vs the non-RPM issue. It's worth a few dollars if in BU condition.
