ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19183 Posts	Posted 01/29/2024 8:52 pm Yes, that's a classic '55. Looking at the last 5 in the date, it appears to be an emergent 'poor man's doubled die'--an indicator of Die Deterioration. I've got a couble tubes of these. Report this Post to the Staff

Sharks Pillar of the Community Canada 1766 Posts	Posted 01/30/2024 3:40 pm @Zkha9136 - Not a LMC (1959-2008), but a 1955 Wheat cent. It is a nice "cracked skull", Die Deterioration. Edited by Sharks 01/30/2024 3:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
