ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19651 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 11:29 am Nice cracked skull--not uncommon with '55 wheat cents. Also, look closely at the date. The digits 55 might show some Die Deterioration doubling--leads to the coin being known as a 'poor man's doubled die'. I have a couple hundred of these in tubes--I like 'em.
