Here is a nice example of a doubled eye and ear. Just pulled this one last night from a OBW roll! Looks to be Stage A so I'd assume would carry a higher premium? From Wexlers listing: Obverse Stage A: Two parallel die scratches run NW from the tops of the 1 and 9 to Lincoln's beard. - See date photo No chip seen on T in CENT. 1955-D 1¢ WDDO-001  Photo highlighting the doubled ear as well as eye.    Difficult to see the 19 doubling but it's there.  Shoulder photo  Edited by CoinHI

Yes, looks like Stage A but it may have a small die crack on the shoulder, basically half of what is shown for Stage B. Can you verify? It does not look particularly EDS but if it is mid-stage it might be of high interest to a specialist. The condition is of more importance for value than the die stage unless it's a new or intermediate stage, or is VEDS.

Thanks for the responses! I added a photo for you Ray. Quote:
It does not look particularly EDS I'm curious why you say this. From the die flow lines on the periphery? Edited by CoinHI

Thanks y'all!
Ok, after comparing photos from PCGS trueviews, I can see the start of the shoulder crack. Starting from the bottom doubled lapel area extending west. It is very weak.
Good eye Ray.

So it's sort of Stage A/B. And yes, the die flow lines around the periphery and devices are indicative of EMDS or MDS. It's a very nice coin and early enough to show the key pickups with full detail.

I really like this variety. Congrats on a great find. It's a shame there weren't more in the roll.
