Just wondering if this would be a D over D, and how much they are worth. Thank you.

It's a positive D over D RPM, but the grade helps determine the value.

Yup, it's definitely 1956D-1MM-001. The grade is hard to determine but looks maybe F/VF so I would probably put the value at around $5, assuming there is no damage to other areas of the coin.

Nice coin, by the way. That variety is by far the strongest RPM for that year.

I tried to take a pic of the front and back, but it's still in the flip, and I took the pic through my loupe... I am no professional with my cheap camera, but I hope this helps.....

Yes, very nice pictures. I also noticed the die chip on the left wheat stalk above the 'U', it is one of the markers for that coin.

So the grading of F/VF would be pretty accurate then? Thanks for the help everyone...

Just out of curiosity, where did you get it? Was it a roll find or a cherrypick?

I found it in a roll out of a sealed $25 box of pennies from the bank (Brinks). Not sure what a cherrypick is... I always put my Wheat and Indian head pennies in flips, and didn't notice it till I was looking at the date and mint to write it on the flip.

Good find! I define cherrypicking as looking through a dealer's stock in attempt to find an error/variety that has been misclassified. Some people call looking through rolls from the bank cherrypicking. It really depends on who you ask.

The grade is closer to VF35-EF40. Click on the website thumbnail to see the Lincoln Cent grade comparison chart. I'm trying out some new codes I just added, and I really like this on. All you have to do is click the web_site button and enter the website url in between the brackets.

RPM for certain, looks like this one http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate ... _state=lds

I can't tell with only partial images. Would be worth a couple dollars in this condition.

Even though this is an old thread it is a nice "easy on the eyes" RPM to spot.
Here are some nice images at this link. Coppercoins
