1955's are famous for the doubled die variety (very obvious when you see it). This is not one but it is a nice example of a die chip in the first five.

Also, it's a nice looking 1955-d with full stalks!

I strongly suggest to use punctuation marks on your posts.

Looks like a die chip in the first 5.
Rest in Peace

We meet again, Misairo, hello!

In the 50's & 60's the filled numbers were very common, the mint kept using dies to make the coins long past when they needed to be changed due to wear. The edges around the imprint in the dies would break off at the weakest areas, like this one in between the upper bar and curve. The result would be the "filled 5, or 9", very common.
Not sure, but may have a RPM, repunched mintmark, need a closeup of the "D" to tell though, a possibility.

Hey Fuzzy, I think Mario (his name) is either young or is just learning English, ok?

Welcome to CC!

Your coin is just a common 55D with a die chip in the 5. It's worth about 3 cents.

The picture isn't clear enough for me to tell but I know I have an RPM for the date with a chip in the first 5. It's worth checking out at Coppercoins.com.
