onejinx Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 08/02/2008 07:39 am Looks like a very slight doubling of the date. I don't see a 3 either. Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 08/02/2008 08:18 am I see why you think you see a 3 under the 5, but I really believe that this coin has simply suffered circulation damage. Sorry to disappoint you. Report this Post to the Staff
wossip New Member United Kingdom 26 Posts	Posted 08/02/2008 11:22 am Thanks to all who replied. I know it has damage, but that doesn't affect the date. It is double-struck - obviously - but the reason why I suggested it was struck over 1953 is that the left centre of a '3' seems to be peeping out from the left centre of the second '5'. There is nothing like that on the FIRST '5'. Report this Post to the Staff
onejinx Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 08/02/2008 11:56 am Here is a pic of a 1953 If the left center of the 3 was to stick out past the left center of the 5, you would also see the bottom and top of the 3 sticking out. The top and bottom of the 3 are more apt to stick out first. Edited by onejinx 08/02/2008 11:58 am Report this Post to the Staff

onejinx Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 08/02/2008 12:54 pm There is no reason to be sorry. I was just explaining why it is just a regular 1955. Report this Post to the Staff
