cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 08/27/2016 10:18 am It could be a doubled die, it's hard to know from the image posted. Like the others have said, it's not "the" popular doubled die. There are several other doubled dies known for the 1955 cent. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/27/2016 10:20 am OPs coin is just an extremely worn die. This happened a lot on the wheat cents from the 1950's. They actually used the dies, till they died. Thus all the die crack/chips breaks appear during this time. Even BU coins were known to look bad: Report this Post to the Staff
