Attached are 6 photos of die markers. Note: these are tough to shoot. I wanted to do a couple of others, but I had too much trouble with lighting and angle, but maybe I can get those as well if needed.

Note: while three of the shots support 024, some of the reverse shots support 016.

Very nice pics! the BU coins are nice to look at but a bugger to get good pics of for sure. Sorry for misleading this morning but you have the MAN checking things out for you now!

With permission from Copper Coins (Thank You Bob) I did a couple overlays with CCs 016 http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/d...&die_state=lds and 024 http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/d...&die_state=lds On 016 when I aligned the MM of your coin the date, rim, jacket and clash mark were out of alignment... When I aligned just the clash marks the difference was even more apparent... When doing the overlay of CCs 024 the date and MM aligned perfectly... With the clash aligned the visible portion of the date, MM and jacket all aligned also... While CCs RPMs 016 and 024 are extremely close in placement and appearance they different dies... They also appear to have the same rev dies as the marker images, with the die chip and abrasions around the west stalk and C, between the 2 line up... To me yours is CCs 024... Hope that helps... If need be we can have Bob (MustbeBob) come take a look for confirmation either way!!!

Wow, thanks for the detailed investigation!

I am convinced the coin is 1957D-1MM-024. It "may" share the reverse with 1957D-1MM-016.

Good work!

Congrats AstroRaider, very nice RPM! Awesome job on the overlays Jim! Great job with your photos too AstroRaider!

Thanks ya'll... Glad I could help... There is no doubt in my mind that the rev dies are the same but that decision would be left to the pros for confirmation!!!
