Specifically for wheat back cents. I have 2 1955-D cents and have referred to PCGS pictures for the 1955-D 1C, 1955-D 1C DDO FS-101, and 1955-D 1C RPM FS-503, all pictures with the cents as brown tint, not red brown or red tint, to be as accurate as I can while researching. I can make a separate posts with pictures of said wheat back cents but was really trying to figure out the title question.

I would not say it's common but there are several out there.

Back in time this happened. I have a few with combinations. DDO and DDR come from the Die production. the RPM come from the punch the date and the MM on the HUB So easy: DDO or R is come from the Hub punching the Die. RPM from the punching the Hub and then this Hub produce Dies.

Not offend is find this combination but is fun to find. If you find, probably an collector will pay each thing on the value of the coin.

Thanks for the quick reply. I asked because on PCGS, specifically the price guide, I don't remember seeing a "slot" on the chart of a Lincoln cent date with both. Also, specifically the 1955-D slot, had separate variety listings for DDO and RPM, not one for both and the two I have appears to be both. Can post pictures of each in this thread or make a new one, not trying to post too much about the same topic.

I would just start a new thread for each. I misunderstood your question at first, these are two totally different dies that you refer too, unrelated. I thought you meant the same coin/die, having two different varieties, this does happen. If you mean the same year/mm, that is very common.

No misunderstanding, that is what I meant. I have two 1955-D wheat back cents, both cents appear to have two varieties, the DDO and an RPM. I will start a new thread with pictures here in an hour or so, I don't want to mislead seeing as the title to this post was a broader question not specifically about the 1955-D. Thanks again.

You do not has to open other post for this. I explained that the RPM is happened when the Hub is punch then the Hub will produce the die with this RPM and in the time the Die is produced could be an DDO or DDR for reverse. So is only one Die which can produce the both in the same time. The PCGS if you do not ask will not look for. In my conciliation only ANACS will wrote the both. Me I have two coins as two different errors and first I send to VSS and then to ANACS. The both was Penny so are not at my hand now. I will look for.

Please understand that only one Die will strike the coins and not Two.

Yeah, I understand that. Not to sound rude but both my responses were directed at the other poster. I will write another post specifically about the 1955-D with pictures as per my last response. Thanks for the input but when I asked the title question and received a response that it is possible for a Lincoln cent to have more than one variety on the same coin, then that helped to confirm my research specifically about the 1955-D.

As makecents commented, it happens from time to time, but common it is not.

Might be wrong, but during this era, I thought the Mint Marks were added to each Working Die by hand with a punch. See coops image below. Thanks, Doug.

Also me I believe it is as Halo state till I read the 1964 Mint Report and answers to the Congress in 1964. In this report we can find the Investigation Essay report about the RPM's.
