Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 12/23/2024 1:34 pm This 1955-D nickel was an ebay freestyle pick for $3.99 (in a block of four nickels). I grappled with it for a while after lunch. Under some lighting angles, it sure does look like a 1955-D/S.The lower left pic shows that best. Under other lighting angles, it looks like a D mushed out by Die Deterioration. It's a further challenge because there are numerous D/S dies for 1955, unlike the single die OMM for 1949 and 1954. Also, all the catalog pictures were taken with good equipment, and I have no idea what light angle they used (presumably top-down microscope lighting?). http://www.varietyvista.com/05%20JN...%201955D.htm https://doubleddie.com/939955.html My holiday season kicks off with a family dinner in two hours. I might not get back to this coin for many days. Rather than let it just sit on my desk for a week, I thought I'd post it now. Anybody got any grand insights? Report this Post to the Staff

Yeah, I think you called it, Seeker. Interesting that the two catalogs list different markers. Definitely has the thick die scratches through the P of Pluribus. Also the short, thick scratch between NT of Monticello. Correct mintmark position. Neither catalog lists that visible gouge above the D, or the long thick scratch through MER of America. I found a comparable MS66 1955-S/D on PCGS (26763050). Earlier this year, I cherry-picked a 1955-D slab. As it so happens, that was also OMM-004. What are the odds? =) Thanks for the help!
