1955 Lincoln Wheat Cent. Another What Is This?

I would love to continue this conversation, but I need to get some sleep.
I will be back in the morning to see where this topic has gone at that time..

Good night..

Perhaps we ask Mike Diamond this question...

This is probably the most undeserved disrespect I've received in a long time! None of the linked coins are even remotely similar to the one the OP shared. All are post-82 low-relief types, not the higher-relief 1955 shown by the OP, and none of them show die clashes in the deepest relief areas. I believe you owe me an apology.

Edited to add: if there was some cataclysmic clash that hit hard enough to put a deep impression on the bowtie of a LWC obverse die, it would show up in many other areas of the die, proof positive supporting my earlier statement.

A little, but not quite back to before.

Ray, what do you say I send you one of the "fantasy" pieces that I posted on this thread and you do your fantastic photography work with it. You can study it and then post it with your thoughts. You can keep it as a token of my appreciation for you and what you do. You obviously do not remember me helping you nail down some RPM's you had a tough time with on LCF. Just let me know, I still have your address somewhere, I'll find it. This would be the one I would send you.

Come on, Ray, this dumb ole hillbilly is trying to throw out an olive branch and stroke your ego a little.

I think the bottom line for this thread is that the OP's coin has PMD, so no mint errors or die errors or varieties happening on it. The MAD die clash discussion was enlightening, but that's not what we have here. The possibility is intriguing, and hopefully makes folks reading this thread look harder to find these coins and hopefully post them here for all the forumites to see. Some of the coins posted are extremely intriguing! I know I learned from this thread.
