1955-D DDO-001 FS-101 ?

From the image you provided, it appears to be DDO-001 FS-101. A picture of the eye on Lincoln will confirm it. Nice find!

I like the doubling on the 9 @led!

Nice doubling on the 9 and the 1!!

In regard to your scope and photos, if it is wifi capable download inskam. It let's you clean up the photos after the shot.

On the error part you may be making the mistake I did when starting. That is not resizing your photo in the websites image optimizer to be below 300kb. I believe it starts at 1200 width or resolution automatically. Many times I have to drop it to 1000 or 950 for the image to be below 300kb. You have to resale a couple of times but it will work.

On the DDO if the eyelid matches and all Congrats!! It sure looks correct. I have a ton of 55 D and I will be looking for sure now. That guy is nice!.

And also Welcome. This is a great community with a ton of knowledge. If ya can't learn anything here it's because you just don't wanna. And on top of that these guys won't beat you up too much for posting stuff that is far from an error ( trust me, I know).... Congrats again.

thanks for all the info, had to load firefox
and checked all the sizes and all are below 300 kb,
all these coins have seen better days, but here goes
there is a little bump under the eye, lid does that count

The nine looks really cool, nice find!

The extreme die wear forms the lines on the Liberty area. Keep in mind that when the coin is struck, it becomes larger until it fills the collar. (Thus the round edge on the coin) So the dies are altered by the metal moving from location to the new location over and over again. Thus the dies wear out forming the flow lines on the fields. Then die polishing removes one set of the flow lines and the process begins again. This time the devices are affected on the devices of the coin. Well the question comes up. How does that back side of the bust get affected. Well the metal flow/pushed over that area many times (Sometimes as a much as a million times before a die might be retired) Thus the area is below the surface of the die. Outside edge of the die is the fields. So that area get affected by the continuing use of move metal over an area deeper into the die, thus causing move wear on that area. Thus the back of the bust and the eye area has more of a push on these areas. (Well actually the full outer edge of both designs on the on the obverse and get a lot of wear from metal movement) But some areas show the stress more. The two areas I mentioned, on the Memorial cents most of the die chips were on the 12th column. So the areas that show the most die wear are affected the most. But after you get so much mileage out of dies, when they are retired, the coins really show how worn they were.

They start to leave what looks like peanut butter devices:






Then they finally get retired.
