At first glance, I'm seeing a portion of what appears to be a nice '55 S Wheat cent. Please share with us what you're seeing. Consider posting full and sharp photos of the coin's obverse and reverse. Thanks. |

I see no listing for this one on the three sites. But not sure what is going on with this one. The affected areas are both north and south. So without seeing more of the coin. It could be Machine Doubling and a RPM. Just not enough information from the images. |

Oh yeah and before I forget it's stage c I don't have the chip I have the correct but it was actually a lot of fun figuring it out I didn't take any pictures. I know I should have but I got to put up and didn't feel like pulling it back out.

The mark on the lower loop is not part of a RPM. That is from a damaged mintmark punch issue. Many dies show this and probably different denominations that show that as well. So from the last images which are a lot better, (In fact spot on) there is not RPM on this coin. But at least you figured out the correct way to move forward with images. Great color also.

Well it is a normal cent. If you are collecting these in an album and it is better than the one there, use it as a replacement. If not, keep it with your Wheat cent stashes or it it came from a roll that is now in tubes, it can go back into the tube. You could give it to a new collector and keep spreading the joy you experience with a new collector. (It maybe the coin that makes him, "the new collector?" |

Don't think about it. Ask? Start a new thread with the topic of "XYZ" (Topic of your choice) and we can discuss this till you will be able to share what you know, with others. That is out goal here.

Nice looking coin but your coin isn't DDO-001 (like in the link you posted.) I don't see any extra eyelids on your coin. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
