Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 07/16/2022 1:58 pm looks like MD to me - On the '55 cent coins it is sometimes called the 'poor man's' doubled die Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin 7070 type set coin count: 51/76 Uncirculated American Silver Eagles My American Silver Eagle Proof Collection Sacagawea Dollars Innovation Dollars Eisenhower-Dollars Kennedy-Half Dollars Washington-Quarters Roosevelt-Dimes Buffalo-Nickels 1938-2005 Jefferson-Nickels Lincoln-Cents Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19150 Posts	Posted 07/16/2022 3:04 pm Classic '55 Die Deterioration (and Die Deterioration Doubling)--those '55 dies took a beating. Hint of 'poor man's doubled die'. Also, appears to be a cracked skull. Possible die crack on the right wheat stalk--hard to be sure given the photos posted. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/16/2022 11:10 pm Not seeing any doubling either, but I agree with Die Deterioration. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/17/2022 8:12 pm Extreme die wear. (Not DDD, that happens on Single squeeze dies) and circulation flattening. Extreme die wear happens on both types of dies, but DDD is seen on the fields and not on the devices, because of the lower profiles of the devices on these single squeeze dies.
