coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/24/2008 7:23 pm Because of the big doubled die for 1955, the theory that the ones like yours would be called "Poor mans doubled die." This is a misnomer as it is not a doubled die. This is extreme die wear. This happened on a lot of 1953-55 Cents. The dies were showing such wear that the edge of the number facing the rim appears doubled. Not just die wear. If you check other devices on the same coins you will not extreme wear on obverses and most reverses show the extreme wear on the them as well. But if you saved a big number of these, you would still be a poor man. Newbies buy them till they catch on they are being taken advantage of. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._MANS_DD.jpg In one roll of BU Cents I found 19 of them out of 50. I checked to see if the markers matched and most were from different dies. So it happened on several dies. The big 1955 DDO was on only one die. Popularity/demand make this coin a high priced one.
