2foxy Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 01/28/2023 09:39 am I found this 1955 D LWC with what appears to be doubling on the eyelid and extra lettering punched into the jacket. I compared it to Wexlers variety and the doubling on the eye looks similar but slightly different. Would this be a DDO? And would the lettering in the jacket be considered a mule, some other type of error or PMD? Thanks in advance for your help Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/28/2023 10:46 am A mule is a die used from another denomination/series. Your coin is not one of these: These are very rare. Most of the time they are mint assisted errors that could cost the employees their jobs. CoopHome: What is a Mule Coin? a wrong die that is from another series used. Report this Post to the Staff
