      The 1956 D/D/S  WOMM-001 is a very 
interesting variety.  The coin exhibits a 
D punched almost directly over a D 
with an S mintmark punched lightly 
northeast of the D's.  The parts of the S 
that touch the D's can be seen best.  
This is a controversial OMM because of 
the weakness of the S mintmark.  
Coneca still lists this variety as rpm#12.
The complete outline of the S can be 
seen only on late die stages.  Late die 
stage coins are very scarce and 
demand a much higher premium.  On 
early and middle die stages, die 
scratches can be seen running 
southwest to northeast across the date 
and mintmark.  In late die stages, these 
die scratches are gone.  
This coin is known as 1956 RPM #12, 
1956 D/D/S OMM#2, or WOMM-001.  
Do not confuse this coin with 
WDMM-001.  
This coin is the #4 most wanted in The 
Complete Price Guide and Cross 
Reference to Lincoln Cent Mint Mark 
Varieties by Brian Allen and John 
Wexler.
