The first coin looks interesting. Could be a doubled eyelid. The site list one similar to your your coin.
http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1956&die_id=1956p1do002&die_state=mds
But the markers don't match with the die craks/chips/breaks on them. You might want to check to see if it matches. But the one on the site looks weaker than your. A good possibility for a new variety? It has great markers to help identify your coin. Nice find.
The second post the images didn't open.... Sorry.....

What would be the problem with the second images Coop? Should I reload them?

By the way I think my wording is wrong the 2nd and 3rd image is not the same cent as the doubled eyelid. I meant that the 2nd and 3rd image are together. Shocked Does that make any more sense Laughing

Sandra: That does make sense why the last two markers don't match with the die listing I posted. Check and see if your coin matches (The doubled eyelid) matches with the markers on the site. It maybe a match or may not be a match. The eyelid looks stronger on your coin.

The second post image doesn't load as it may have did not get all the letters it needs or if you forgot to hit enter after your tag and [/img] . You might just try posting the tag and see if we can look at it from there. probably no need reload them. It just may be a posting problem here to the site. Just takes one letter missing/forgetting to add the enter to stop the posting from working. The dreaded red X in the indicator that somethig is wrong.

JUMPING in with both feet, LOL. The picture with "RIBUS" is either a LDS or VLDS die and it is nothing more than die detrioration.

The first picture is a doubled eyelid south, which seems to be the more common doubled die for this date.

The other two pictures show advanced die cracking/chipping even though the die state looks to be about MDS to LMDS. This may have been caused by the die being not properly tempered leaving it to brittle.

Just some thoughts.

The doubled eyelid is a keeper.

The die cracks and breaks - if you like them and want to collect them fine, but there's no real premium built into these. They are tough to sell at a premium.

The image of the reverse has some machine doubling and is LDS. Nothing else. It's a tosser.
