I am sorry, you cannot convince me that this is a true double die. This example/coin double die pattern and style look like a man-made double die. And so identical to the coins on Etsy.com. It needs to be investigated by an independent agent, fraudulent shame. This coin is one of many. Good lord.

Check out "The 9 Classes of Double Dies" and "Two types of Doubling" @conecaonline.org. If you already have, disregard learning.

You really need to do some basic research regarding double dies, especially on the 1955 DDO. It's the "classic" DDO.

Five minutes going to PCGS, NGC, Heritage, Great Collections would have shown you that the above photo is a legitimate example.

Here's two links for you;

@E and V, that is more of a realistic coin. This type of coin, double dies, is hard to find. Thank you for the information.

The original coin posted above, does not appear to be a DDO in my opinion. The rest that were posted as examples are DDOs

I got my toy (microscope) today; the glare you see is from cellophane. This coin is still in the plastic folder, an uncirculated coin. I did not do the back, but they look the same fat.

It's Machine Doubling, not a DDO.

With the new pics it is definitely Machine Doubling, you can see it going in the same direction on the date, mm and LIBERTY and also taking away for the normal size of the devices. Nice job with your new scope though, congrats on that, we will be able to help you more and quicker now.

Another opinion as per your request.
Reduced devices and step like appearance = Machine Doubling.
A DD would have larger devices and have a notch like appearance on the corners of the devices.
