CGCoins Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 07/16/2018 10:38 pm That is what is known as the Poor man's double Die, which is just Machine Doubling and not a true Double Die. The double Die for the famous 1955 is extreme and cannot be mistaken. Edited by CGCoins 07/16/2018 10:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/16/2018 10:44 pm The So Called 'Poor mans doubled die' is actually a die wear coin. Not a machine doubled example. The dies on the wheat cents of the 1950's were way over used. So with the heavy die wear, they were other die events that happened because the die were used till the die, died.
