albertharris Pillar of the Community United States 901 Posts	Posted 03/13/2013 8:32 pm At first I thought this was rpm 26, but none of the markers matched. Now I believe it's a LDS 1956D-1MM-013. The markers match CC MDS photos as below; Mintmark placement Closeup mintmack showing upper and lower serifs. Die scratches from back of neck, north of "LIBERTY." Die scratch running SE from "D" in GOD and die scratches Between "WE" and Lincoln's hair. Reverse die markers, scratches running east and a little south from "T" in CENT. Short die scratch protrudes from the bottom of the second "U" of UNUM. A series of die scratches are located in the upper valley of the N in ONE. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/13/2013 8:42 pm I'm leaning towards 026. The location appears to be a better match. Your mint mark is closer to the 5 than the 013. I'll try to do an overlay and comment on it for sure later on. Busy right now. Sorry Report this Post to the Staff

This coin shows Machine Doubling, could that be why the mintmark is so close to the "5"? Of course I'd love it to be an 008! Report this Post to the Staff

Markers can look the same if the polishing on the dies is done in the same manner. Then after more coins are stuck they flatten in the open fields. Next to devices sometimes they may still be seen. So they are like finger prints. They are there. or not be there they may half to identify. Report this Post to the Staff
