Ken (KLF) sent me this RPM to look at and finally I believe I found a match to CCs 1mm-018 http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1956&die_id=1956d1mm018&die_state=lds The circ wear on the MM, especially across the top, made it difficult for me to be sure as there were several others close in appearance... I did however find a couple of markers in the 5 and between the 5 and 6... I think Kens is a MDS compared to CCs LDS as a lot of the abrasions from Kens are not on CCs sample... With permission from Copper Coins and Bobs continued support (Thank You Bob) I also created an overlay... The only difference I can see appears to be related to die/circ wear... As always any/all comments are welcome... Thanks Ken for the opportunity to examine your coin!!!

Jim, thanks for all the hard work. I know you have been on it for a couple of weeks, so definitely a hard attribution. Wish I had your camera skills and photo analysis capabilities.
Jim, your ability to attribute, describe in words and photograph varieties is one of LCF's most valuable resources!! Thanks for all your work and dedication!!

Glad to be of help... Sorry for the delay in getting this finished... Wish it could have been faster... I am also complete with the other one and I believe you are correct... Just a few things to recheck and finish up!!!
