1956/1956 D LWC Overdate

If it's raised it can't be a strike through. Strike throughs are incuse.

I'd say it's probably a coincidental die gouge. There are many known examples of late 50's wheat cents having unusual die gouges through the date.

The debunked 1958/7, the two 1956-D WUFO's ( The first one was once listed as a repunched date but that was debunked. http://www.doubleddie.com/2397279.html ), and there's likely many more.

Thanks for the extra images. I agree with Tanman.
Not seeing a counter clash either as most of the examples of counter clashes are Memorials and later die states with Die Deterioration and damage.

A great read on this subject can be found at: http://www.ERROR-REF.com
They have a page about the 1956 (best year to be born!). "A repunched date is produced when a numeral (or several numerals) is punched more than once into a working die, with movement of the punch or die between impacts. On the coin, this results in two overlapping numbers of the same type. A repunched date always involves the same numerals. If different numerals are involved, then we call it an overdate.
Repunched dates should not be confused with doubled dies, re-engraved dates, or misplaced dates.
For U.S. coins, the era of repunched dates ended in 1908. Beginning in 1909, the date was placed on the master hub or the master die. As a result, any claims of repunched dates later than 1908 must be greeted with extreme skepticism."

We've all spent money that was worth more than the face value of it. Whether it was a ten dollar loss or ten thousand dollar loss. We're checking our change now

All these are different coins. Is there something going on with the nine in the date?

OMM's stopped in 1955.

I do not think it is a RPM or a doubled die. Die abraision? Die clash?
