Looks like a double die error. You can pretty much see another five coiming off of the first one. These are worth a little bundle. Am I correct?

this is the only distinct sign of doubling - does this fetch a premium?

It's abraded die doubling. It is the result of die fatigue, overuse. In 1955 they are extremely common, I have rolls of them. The dies were used to excess in Philadelphis that year as well as 1946, 1949, 1953, and 1954. No premium value.
