1955 Lincoln Wheat Errors

Hey tdl4vt, not sure what you'd like help with exactly, but it's a nice looking coin for the most part. The main things you're seeing are from overworked dies. The poor man's doubled die is a textbook example of this. I suspect the blurry wheat ears are from the same thing, although it could be wear -- however, the condition of the coin seems pretty nice so I'm leaning toward the worn die hypothesis. The error on the left wheat ear is a nice big die chip. The E looking like an L is very likely from a worn out die, too. I can't see any other doubling in E PLURIBUS UNUM, and as far as the symbol in Lincoln's hair, my bet is on post mint damage. It looks kind of like someone scratched a little heart, actually.

Also, we'd appreciate it if you'd orient your pictures when you uplaod them. You can preview them and rotate them as needed.

Thanks, and hope that's useful feedback.

I hadn't really thought of grease filled as a possibility, so I'm glad you mentioned it, Druu.

Here is a link to Wexler's description of Die Deterioration Doubling. The first example is the 1955 poor man's DD.
