Good evening. I came across this 1955 LMC that appears to have DDO. You can notice it on Lincoln's chin, nose and forehead. IIn hoping the photo is visible. I am using an I phone camera. Can you provide an opinion? Thank you

Do you see a DDO slightly and if yes you think there's any significance to it. I know it's not the big one in all the books

This is commonly known as the "poor man's doubled die". All it is is Die Deterioration (dies in the 1950s were heavily overused).

I was under the impression the poor mans DD would be on the bottom right of the dates. And didn't realize they appear on the face. Thank you

The face doubling is very common in the 50's. I don't think it is DDD. I can't remember the name,re-tooling maybe?

The only thing I see on your coin is a cracked scull . Die break on Lincolns head . This is very common on the 55's .
