To me, this proof penny seems to have something going on with both the obverse AND reverse of the coin!

I'm not going to ask any leading questions or attempt to attribute this coin.
So please, just take a look at the pics and tell me what, (If anything) YOU see.

Any and all thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Strange but the 55 looks more doubled when not magnified. And the DDR?

I think the obverse looks normal. Definitely DDR though. Mid die DDO-008/DDR-005 combo maybe?

It sure appears to be DDO and DDR! Nice one.

I'm with John1 on this one. Looks like the 1955P-1DO-007P-1955P-1DR-002P double variety. The images on both coins hide a lot of doubling in the glare.

I was able to match every obverse and reverse die marker for the WDDO-006/WDDR-005 die pairing at Doubledie.com!

Here's a few pics in which I attempted to capture the obverse markers:
