Help with 1956-D DDO "eye" Lincoln cent

I found a couple of these Lincoln cents in an old bank roll some 10 yrs ago and after identifying them as the "eye" double, never bothered to nail down which one of the many they might be. So today I went through Wiles' web page but couldn't find an example that matched the mint mark placement.

Are there any Lincoln cent variety people that can point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Dave

    Thanks for the head's up on Coppercoins. I looked thru their images and can't find a matching "D" placement.


    LOL!!! Lincoln would most certainly be crying if he knew what is happening to his party!!

    Send it to Dr Wiles at CONECA. You may get credit for a new doubled die for the date.
