Mike1487 Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 08/18/2014 4:48 pm It is the "poor man's doubled die". Shadowing of the last 5 is visible. Pretty common on 1955 cents. It's not an actual doubled die, I forget the specific cause but could be heavily used dies. People often try to sell them for a dollar or two. Report this Post to the Staff
