Colles Valued Member United States 216 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 04:18 am Hey Guys!, New to the forum and I found something today that I dont know what it is. I have a old water cooler glass jug and I've been throwing change I get into it for the past several years. Today, something caught my eye as a different looking penny. I know I've seen wheat pennies before, but this one is different. I searched Google and saw that there is a DDO 1955S penny going around, that is apparently worth a pretty penny (pun not intended). But looking at this coin I see that its not a DDO, but that the coin itself is off center. The upper part that says "In God We Trust" is right along the rim of the coin and is almost cut off. Just wondering if anything is special about this. Just thought it would be cool to know. Thanks. Colles Report this Post to the Staff
