Odessos New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted Yesterday 7:26 pm Hello everyone, While cleaning the attic from my uncle's home, I found the above. Not sure if this DDO, fake or multiple strike... I see a lot of doubling (we trust, 1955 year, double nose, etc), without microscope. I only have 5x loop and with this tool, I also see another 1955 below and to the left of the original strike. Also weak L (from liberty) to the left and almost on the rim...Coin weight is in the middle of the range. Reverse looks almost normal - coin not completely flat and looks a little elongated to me. I am an old tool and die maker, and think that this coin was punch, it got stuck... Thank you kindly for your feedback. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21910 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:41 pm It is a counterfeit, look at how far the copy is from the rim, it should almost be touching it. Also if it was double struck, it would show on the head also, not just on the copy. . Edited by JimmyD Yesterday 8:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15941 Posts	Posted Today 10H 28M ago to the CCF Appears to be someone tried to counterfeit the famous (and expensive) 1955 doubled die obverse cent. A genuine example looks like this: 1955 DDO-1 LWC, PCGS AU53 Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5895 Posts	Posted Today 6H 34M ago Interesting thread. There is also a secondary TRUST to the left of the prominent one. This secondary TRUST (Rotated CCW) isn't consistent with the direction of the secondary date (offset NE, west, & South). I see the "oval" shape of the coin distended towards k2. I'm with others & lean towards this being manufactured ( PSD), possibly with soft dies? I also think an image of the reverse could be helpful. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

Odessos New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted Today 4H 56M ago To me the reverse is concave. I found 8X loop and also see another W to the left of WE on the front. There is a tool mark under T on the left side. Coin also have LIBERTY letters start smaller L and finish with larger Y... This coin is definetly egg shaped specifically to the right upper Observe side. My biggest problem is the fact that now I can see 3 date strikes. First 2 are the obvious ( R shift almost on the same line), but 3rd is rotated 20 (?) degrees down with 1 is coming out from under president jacket. While I am leaning towards the fake, why would someone bother with the 3rd date? Report this Post to the Staff
Odessos New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted Today 4H 50M ago One more idea - Punching the coin on concave explains why letters are smaller on the edge and larger in the middle Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7594 Posts	Posted Today 4H 39M ago to the Community. As mentioned above screams FAKE ,.Just need paying attention to the details of Profile rather than the doubling. at first glane the defined Neck lines, front and back and the Hair at the back of the Neck stand out. It is a good conversation piece. Edited by Chase007 Today 4H 38M ago Report this Post to the Staff
