coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/19/2016 2:38 pm Par for the course on the "poor man's DD" The dies were over used and all kinds of weird stuff happened then. I got a roll of 1955 cents in a tube and out of 50, 19 show various dies that show that type of die wear. Report this Post to the Staff
jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 01/19/2016 3:22 pm That's a pretty cool coin. A note though on the 55P's. Over the last few years I've sorted about 3/4 of million raw cents. In my opinion THE toughest 55p to find is a well struck example with no die cracks or die issues. I keep all of the best struck coins of each date/mm. And the late 50s are very hard, and the 55 may be the hardest date of all, to find as a well struck coin. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/21/2016 2:09 pm Not yet. The die would need another crack to extend to the rim. So far that hasn't happened to the die yet. Edited by coop 01/21/2016 3:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
