Just wanted to run this by for your opinions. This is a 1955 D Wheat penny. The first thing I noticed on thia coin was Lincolns nose. I also noticed it by the mouth, eye, chin, ear, collar, date, mint mark L, R,T,Y in LIBERTY, G in GOD, second T in TRUST. A crack near the shoulder. In addition I spotted what appears to be doubling on the "f" and "R" of "of AMERICA", on the reverse and on some more on the wheat leaves. I'm cureous to know what your thoughts are. Oh, almost forgot to mention that the nose has several angles of doubling that change from a line, dot, duplicate to an entire nose depending on the light angle, but all show some type of anomoly.

Sorry, see no signs of hub doubling at all, nor really any signs of Machine Damage (MD) either.

 With Crazyb0! The 1955 doubled die is the most unique and distinctive of the doubled die! If you were to see one in hand you would literally think you were seeing double(d)

Here is a different angle of the nose to bettee show the doubling. I did not mean this had doubling as in the true 1955. It is my understanding that there are several classes of doubling. Maybe a bouble struck coin. This nose does not strike you as odd nor does the reverse of the coin?
