it's crap. I would pay 5 cents for this coin...study a coin collecting book so you don't have to ask others This is exactly the type of questions we strive for here at this Family coin forum. If you cannot handle a simple beginner question then I suggest finding another forum that tailors to you.

It's a worthy question--we're all here to ask and learn.  The error guys might chime in about this "poor man's doubled die" It's been called that for years, and I recall it's just Die Deterioration?  |

I know of the big one but have not seen the others in person yet so was not sure. Isn't there 6 or 7 DDO's for the 1955 cent? |

Yes indeed. coppercoins.com is a great reference for all the known varieties. http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php then put in 1955, check off Philadelphia, then Doubled Die Obverse, then submit search. He shows all the die markers, etc. |

If you are referring to my opinion, I'm not seeing anything....but I can only see a grainy 955. I own a 55 DD and they are nice to look at as a prime example of an error coin

It's not the "big one" obviously but in fact, a "poor man's" double die which as stated, is explained very thoroughly at coppercoins.com The seller does state that in the title unlike some scammers on ebay. swcoin.ecrater.com

I bought my 55 DD in 1969 for around $150 in EF after carrying golf bags every day, 18 holes for $8 all summer. I bought that coin along with an 1893S Morgan plus a few others. Those two coins really caught my attention for some reason. I'm sorry I can't show you a photo of the DD, I'm a dinosaur and am trying to find someone to help me post photos of my coins...Stay tuned...Thanks, Erik

As far as the original post, that listing is not a desired doubled die. And even though he states "poor man" in his title, his comments below it are leading and misleading.
"Recognized as a true sub type of the double die cent...it is a lesser type worth about 100 to 150 dollars".
Pfff! It's not even worth what he's charging for shipping.

If I could get $9.98 for these, I'd be rich by now. They are pretty common.
