Is this 1956D-1OM-002? I faintly see something coming off the D in the middle right side. It's probably just me seeing things but I figured for 20 cents I might as well buy it and double check just in case it is the OMM. EDIT: I'm like 98% this isn't an OMM but just want to check

Although the mint mark position looks about right, I am just not seeing the variety on your coin.

I'm leaning towards an LDS OMM. This one is bugging me a bit due to a recent find myself. What I see on your coin is a mark protruding from the right side of the D with a short curve downward. It's harder to see on CC's example, but the top arrow points to what looks like the same mark. A couple overlays put these marks on the same spot. Just curious why we don't see the lower mark of the repunch. The coin I found recently I will need to post in the morning. It has the lower mark , is missing this middle mark seen on yours, an upper mark not seen on CC's or yours. This will be bugging me!

I don't think that is RPM-012 because there is no lower protrusion SE (and yes, I don't think the variety is an OMM, rather a RPM D/D/D). Look for a strong die scratch in ES of STATES.

Jason...the example you show looks fairly EDS on obverse. The ones I have are MDS, and the "extra S" is quite mushy. Yours seems earlier but the extra S is still mushy. You got the lighting set up just right for a good capture of the extra S, well done...Ray

PS have you done an overlay on this one to confirm? This photo you show is perfect for proving/disproving the variety

Thanks - I am not sure how many times I had to shoot it to see it. This is MDS or thereabouts. I shot EDS-LDS. And I did analysis, which I need to make a thread about.
