Please post larger, sharp photos of the coin's obverse and reverse--the larger and sharper the better (within the photo size constrains of the forum, of course). The '55 Wheat cent can have many things going on with it. Copper is a relatively soft metal and can be moved/reshaped when hit just right. Larger photos may show that the nose was hit in a fashion that created the 'no nose' look. May have been deliberate. |

Looks like the result of a nice, low angle hit from NE to SW. Note the pushed metal. Not an error--didn't leave the striking chamber this way.
Full coin photos may show other interesting things which are often found on '55 Philly wheat cents.

Note the area that looks like pushed snow in the winter. That is where is left from that area. The coin was normal when it was struck, but it looks like the snowplow spotted it and moved it. This is not a coin striking error. If that area is the only area affected, it may have been deliberate. No premium for a damaged coin. (not even it is was caused by Machine Doubling) First time I've seen this, but it not a good look for Abe. Edited by coop

Too many photos. As mentioned, PMD. The metal has been moved into a clump. "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." - Forrest Gump
The concept of maturity is complex. While one's capacity to be mature can be correlated with age, someone's overall maturity and respect for life is not. Maturity is formed through experience and perception.
Human progress can only be achieved through trial and error.
