T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 11/29/2016 09:38 am Because they are so easy to see ,the chances of finding a GENUINE 55 D/D in CRH'ing is virtually impossible in present day hunting . Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/29/2016 2:06 pm What you are seeing on the 55 is die wear. They over used the dies on the 1950's wheat cents and all strange stuff started happening. But this is not a doubled die. It was often called the 'Poor Man's' doubled die, but is just a breaking down because of the die over aging. Note the over all weakness of the other devices as well.

Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 11/29/2016 6:29 pm to CCF! This is just die wear and because the actual 55 DDO was so rare. Dealers tried to market these, actually valueless coins as rare. It is hated by many, this marketing scheme Report this Post to the Staff
