Hi all hope I got all the pictures I wanted to on this 1955 Lincoln Cent maybe doubling in the last five of the date as you look in the middle of Lincoln on his coat it was a nice guy crack that runs through his body and out to the rim. Tell me I'm not crazy LOL. How about Liberty dog deterioration? Actually nothing on the reverse thanks

Die Deterioration Doubling and a Die Crack. It's common on these, as the U.S. Mint pushed the dies to their limits.

Yes, that's a Poor Man's Doubled Die--a manifestation of Die Deterioration.

Seen on several years of this era, but especially 1955.
