Here it is. I purchased this from John Wexler. He is calling this coin XF to AU. The coin is red brown and looks a high AU at worst.

Sweet looking coin Garry. Nice find.... Didn't know they made any S mint that year except in proof sets. Don't know how that happened to a business strike.

That's one of the oddities with this die variety - how an S mintmark got on a business strike die.

Remember also that there are two different 1956D OMMs with S mintmarks....there were no S mint cents in 1956.

Also, the coin appears to be rotated a little. maybe 20-30 degrees clockwise.
