I can see two D's for sure but there may be a third off to the west side. You can barely see it, or I am see thing which is most probably the case. Thanks for the help as always.

I can see two, but I am not sure about three.

@cld, have you tried to track down this RPM on the varietyvista website?

I definitely see D/D, and you may have D/D/D, but from the pics it's difficult to clearly see the bottom serif. What you may be seeing to the west is the top of the lower D which is canted. All that said, I'm definitely not an expert in these. Great find.

Skippy 72, OMG! I didn't even realize I did that, I have thought in the past the 1959 should have been included with the Wheat pennies and start the LMC with 1960. Thanks for all the help everyone and I will do some more reading as suggested.

1859 Was Lincoln's Election year. 1809 was his Birth year. Thus the two events that started for the change. Just like 2009 was 100 years forwards from his election year.
