Confounding to me that an aberration like this could possibly be worth more than a perfect specimen.

It's simple, a "perfect" specimen is more common than an "imperfect" one. Supply and demand economics bs or whatever.

Aside from just trying to get an answer to a question there are some very interesting comments here;

"Confounding to me that an aberration like this could possibly be worth more than a perfect specimen." This is an interesting point of view! Thank you for sharing. In this comment would you then agree that a 1955 Doubled Die Obverse Lincoln, which is not a perfect 1955 cent, should not command a premium over a non Doubled Die Obverse Lincoln Cent? Equally, would you agree that a non Doubled Die Obverse Lincoln Cent on a tapered planchet should not command a premium over one on a non tapered planchet?

"Tapered planchets are especially abundant in 1955" I was not aware of this and this in very interesting knowledge you share. Would you please share what reference you use as the root of this knowledge? Thanks in advance!

Thanks all!

E.J. Scott

Yes it is unique. If there is another tapered planchet 55, odds are the taper would be somewhere else on the coin.
...I hadn't thought of it that way, but I have to admit that it's probably true.
