Hi Sorry for so many posts this evening but I got my new computer magnifier so I am going through the coins I have been collecting

Is the S doubled / RPM or nothing? I don't think it is
PMD because the coin is VF condition.

Thanks for your input.

Thanks for the welcome.

Don't know if this picture is any better. Maybe it is like the 1946 omm S over D? You can see the extra lines in the middle of the S and then down below. I have had several coins set aside for a collection and this one is in such nice condition. Anyways, I just got a magnifier that hooks put to my computer and takes the photos. It doesn't seem to magnify enough.

Thanks for taking the time to help.

Those lines are found on many dies because it is from a damaged punched used. Eventually they replace it, but if to the making of this die, it wasn't replaced yet.

Thank you, it takes a well trained eye to see these things so I am glad you can help us newbies out. Like I said I have it in my collection because it is such good shape. But, I am trying to learn. I have been through all of your YouTube videos many times over and they have been very helpful.

Hi
Thank you for taking a look a look, I am a new member too so I don't know how many pics I can put up at one time. So there may be a few more replies to get them all up on the post.

Here are more of the front

I may be new, but the coin shows markers for the 1955S-1MM-004 (S/S West (EDS)) on coppercoins.

Here is the link to it

http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=eds

There are good sites to help with copper coins

Coopercoins
Wexler
Coneca
Lincoln Coin Resource

Good sites to check out

some dies have doubling on the master die which means you did see something but it is present on most of that year.

in my novice opinion

While it might have some similarities to the markers 1955S-1MM-004 is does not have the re-punched mint mark which is for the upper part of the S curved and doubled to the west ---> going WEST not the north master die S on a good portion of all 1955-s coins.
