Your 1958 is really interesting - huge IDB maybe.

I would like to suggest that you start a new post for your 1956. It gets very difficult (for me) to follow the posting replies when there is more than one coin per post. You can easily remove the pictures of the 1956 from this post just by using the edit topic tool (which looks like a piece of paper and a pencil just above the reply box).

The 56 looks like a nice RPM. Oops, I see coinlover already pointed that out.

Will. The next pictures, at first, Appear to be a damaged coin and the on following I believed to be that same issue. All 3,excluding the repunched mint mark, had that same issue. I will post these and ask" Are these, somehow, Be the product from dysfunctional Die? I will post the next picture then I will get shots of the last one. Thank you for any and all help.

The 1935 cent looks like a lamination error on the planchet, that peeled after the strike. How do I know it fell off after the strike? (drumroll please) Do you see the ghost images under the area where the lamination happened? That tells me it peel off after the strike.
The 1916 looks like the coin was damaged. How? I don't know... But it didn't happen at the mint. It was altered after it left the mint. (nothing in the minting process could create that on a coin)

Hey coop, I knew this was going to happen - but what is up with the first 1958 LWC that the OP posted - do you think it is an IDB?

The 58D looks like IDB-1958D-02, on COC under the chin. The head looks like glue.

Yeah I think you may be right Cujohn - we need a more better image of the underneath part of the chin where it is shadowed to make more of a confirmation. That left side of the IDB is looking different right now.

It looks like a struck through a piece of scrap on the OBV. Note the first page images of the full reverse. You can see the edges of the struck through better on them. About his 5th post from the first image.

This is the best I could do. But it will give you look under the chin.

It does look like a die chip under the jaw, but I see a struck through on the bust. A layer of scrap flattened on the bust:

The weight might be slightly heavier for this coin if you can weigh it?
