I found this coin rooting through my stash lol. I have what seems to be a machine double on the date, and the word trust, a cracked skull, with small Cud. Then on the reverse I have what looks to be a large Cud in the collar (so old you can barely see it ) that also forms two cracks in the wheat with yet another cud/crack on the T. Then here is where it gets a little confusing for me. On the reverse you can also see faintly see the impression of Lincoln from the obverse. looking for some advice on value if any and is it unique ?

The 'so called' poor man's doubled die are nothing but dies that were extremely worn, breaking down in every way possible. The mark on the other side devices of the 55 is due to die wear. These are very common as most of the VLDS coins will show this anomaly from all normal dies that are breaking down. In a BU roll I found 19 in just one roll and most were from different die pairs. So the issue with the date is not machine damage, but extreme die wear.

Oh wow 19, and yes I can see that from your photos. I really appreciate that info. I swear I love this website because you can do all the searching in the world to find out eveything about a coin but its all misleading. You get the entire correct story here. Which is why I do come here.Thank you coop.
