Warriorz510 Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 05/31/2018 12:57 am I recently purchased a roll of uncirculated 1955's and the entire roll literally have these oddities(most of not all) any idea what they are? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/31/2018 01:19 am Sorry, it appears that you have what's called a "Poorman's Doubled Die." The doubling seen on the date is due to Die Deterioration and adds no value. The reverse shows some minor Machine Doubling (MD) which also adds no value. Keep searching!

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75193 Posts	Posted 05/31/2018 01:23 am Very common on the 1955 Wheat Cents. No extra value since this is very common and it's not collectable. http://www.error-ref.com/die-deteri...on-doubling/ http://www.error-ref.com/machine-doubling/ Errers and Varietys.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/31/2018 04:59 am Agreed,PMDD. They do however have a premium. Check ebay sold values. Make sure to note they are not a true doubled die in your listing. Your coins are in really nice condition as well. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/31/2018 11:21 am Mostly over used dies showing all different types of die wear, die break down. (Just reminds me I've not seen a VLDS 1955 DDO-001 for that die state. Another project...) Report this Post to the Staff
