On DDO I don't think so,but a decent die clash. On the DDR,not sure but I think MD. I think I see tripling.

I have to disagree with John. Looks like it is a late die state of 1DO-004 + 1DR-001. Light notching and separation on WE, E PLURIBUS, and Left Wheat Stalk.

There's also slight MD on your coin which may be the cause of the tripling John sees.

I have to agree with John1 on this one. The DDO-004 is a proof cent.

The reverse on your coin just shows MD and die wear towards the rim.

Well I don't see a match for The coppercoins 1955P-1DR-001. The shape of the devices to me don't match. Note the center of the'P' on PLURIBUS. It may have taken a hit on the coppercoins coin? But the shape of the OPs reverse side looks normal with Machine Doubling affecting the devices. The first dot on this coin looks normal. The CC example is egg shaped from what I can see.

Here's a comparison of one of the die markers, that scratch doesn't look the same to me. It does look like a DDR to me.

After reading the comments, (thanks guys) I decide to look into it a little closer.

I got some comparison pics and have 100% confirmed IMO that this is the coin DDR1 & DDO4

I made a couple side by side comparisons and tried to get better picks of the areas of interest.

In the picture of trust you can see that scratch by the eyelid pretty good too.

The obverse is definitely a class VI DDO. The S of TRUST is a textbook class VI shape.Whether it's 004 I'm not sure.

I'm sorry I have to say this, but it's Wheat cent. Not memorial. Lol. Your title says Memorial cent.

I've had my titles fixed two or three times by a moderator, because "titles are important" now I try to include the important info about the coin every time!!
I can't believe I messed that up!
I just don't find many errors worth posting on wheat cents, but thanks for pointing that out coppergold-en eye!!
I won't make that mistake again.

I think the part on the rev that people were thinking was Machine Doubling is actually glare.
