1956 D Lincolns with a misshapened "6"

mr1931Smr1931S Posts: 6,350 ✭✭✭✭✭
Images are of three different 1956 D Lincolns.Is the "misshapen 6" a die variety or something else? I see no damage to the rim near the "6" on any of the coins.These three coins were pulled out of an accumulation of some 1200 coins all dated 1956 D.

“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong.”

“Then you trust more to your imagination than to your knowledge?”

“I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)

    I believe that it is PMD. (Post Mint Damage)

    PMD is also my guess.

    Post mint damage.

    It's from a coin counter or roll sealing machine.

    Spadone would list these as "broken numbers" in his book (when times were more simple). They are definitely PMD.

    Damage from one of those machines that curl the paper down against the end coin in a roll.
