Yeah , that one has me mystified - Does it appear to be silver ? (edge ?) have you weighed it ? (2.5 grams is the standard )
 

Na, really it's a 56 rosie, but for some reason it looks like 36 in the pic. Really odd it did that, so hey, thought I would post for some head scratches. Maybe a shadow illusion, heck if I know, but pretty cool pic if you ask me.
 

I was going to say that has to be one of the rarest coins out there, its those funky shaped fives and being a little worn.
 

looks like something hit the five and shoved part of it over. weird thing is that it actually looks like a three in the correct numeric font. that's crazy cool
 

On the coin its a clear 56, but just a crazy pic that even had me going for a bit. Figured I had the wrong pic then realized that can't be right. I even went back and re checked the coin. lol Dang, it really is a 56
 

You had me going there for a few moments. I remembered my first Rosie, and I wasn't born until 37. I somehow managed to save up until I had a $5.00 bill, and had a board of dimes started by my grandmother. I was attempting to fill the board, and wanted to buy a roll of dimes with my savings, so mom took it to the bank for me, and returned with the roll. When I opened the roll it was all the Rosie's, and I was upset enough to remember it to this day. I actually thought that they weren't real money, and even with reassurance from my mother, I still had my doubts. She wanted me to save it, they would eventually be worth more money. I no doubt spent it when a teenager on ammunition, I never had enough money to buy all the bullets I wanted.
