chrsb Pillar of the Community United States 936 Posts	Posted 11/28/2007 9:05 pm Its a poormans, cracked skull variety! It is amazing what some of these sell for on ebay, I got probably 10 of these I found roll searching. I bought a large lot of "varieties-errors" and this was one of the ones in it, it had cracked skulls from 1956-1960. Sometimes you can cherry pick a 1955P-1DO-002 from someone who does not know the value of them and calls it a poormans DDO. I almost had a 002 a couple months ago on ebay, someone else must have noticed what it was and beat my high bid. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19976 Posts	Posted 11/28/2007 9:25 pm SWEET! My dealer sold it to me for a whopping 0.35! I wasn't sure, it was just labeled as 55/55. How much do they go for? I think he may have had a couple more that people have passed over. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 11/28/2007 9:29 pm Bad, I have seen them go for $10 on ebay. Not sure why, they are really fairly prevalent. Still, a nice find. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
chrsb Pillar of the Community United States 936 Posts	Posted 11/28/2007 10:03 pm Ya they are pretty common, all from worn out dies not doubled dies. They still sell for a few bucks. I still need to get a real 1955 DDO and its little brother 002- Sometimes you can find these labeled as poormans- http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 11/28/2007 10:03 pm It is what is referred to as one but it is not a doubled die. It is a coin struck from a very worn and deteriorated die. Very common on many coins of the 50s and 60s but it was hyped as a way to fill in the hole that was placed in coin albums for the real 1955 DDO coin. Report this Post to the Staff
