T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 12/19/2014 08:29 am Eva ,I can tell you want your 1955 Lincoln to be worth something. but in my experience with Lincoln wheat cents it's not a double die nor a poor mans double die where the last 5 shows an image around the bottom of the number. in 1955 the all the mints (P,D,S) showed minor errors here and there. the grade of EF-40 would be appropriate for your coin. I can see your concern about the B on reverse looking like a 5 , but again just a minor mint error. in my opinion there is no value to this coin. Tony Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/19/2014 1:00 pm The 19 on the date looks like MD (Ejection issue). The reverse on the EPU maybe just coin contact. The first set of images made the coin look a lot better. The last set showed us what it really looks like in hand. I had my hopes up at first for a lot better grade, but the last images shows the coin wear on the obverse. So I'm thinking this is a normal nice circulated cent. Keep looking, there are a lot a varieties just waiting to be found. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/19/2014 1:46 pm Machine Doubling (Damage to the coin during the strike.) I refer to it as machine damaged as nothing is not doubled, but reduced in size by die movement damaging the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
