Tonybaloney New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 11/27/2016 12:13 pm Last year I bought a roll of uncirculated 1955 D pennies but only just recently had time to go through them. I noticed that about 33 of the 50 coins had this weak strike area on the upper left portion of the O in the word One and the PL in Pluribus were weaker at bottoms. A few had die cracks over the dot between the E and P in pluribus. Is it common or is there any value? I add a few of the better shown errors for clrification. Apologies in advance for poor photos.

That would cause the O to be a bit weaker. The die cracks unless in a certain location or being a Retained Cud or IBD would not make a premium. For value, I would say an average Mint state coin of that date would go for 1-2 dollars Report this Post to the Staff

Notice a little ghosting on the rev. the area of the O is where the shoulder is on the obv. The shoulder takes a lot of material to fill in so it has to take it from the rev.

So it is normal to see a weakness on the the 'O' on ONE. Reverse is showing Progressive Indirect Design Transfer (PIDT) On Memorial cents as well. Report this Post to the Staff
