A1agrl Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 07/21/2025 1:16 pm I like to find unusual die chips, such as Roosevelt's horse with the snotty nose, and two hornet nest mice running down the Jefferson memorial. So you can imagine the fun when I came across this1955 penny with a Hyphenated Date. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19176 Posts	Posted 07/21/2025 1:26 pm Nice chip(s). Also, looks to be a 'poor man's' doubled die--shows on the last 5 in 1955. Are there die cracks in Abe's scalp? What does the reverse look like? Report this Post to the Staff

A1agrl Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 07/21/2025 2:32 pm In response to the question regarding the coin having other die cracks the answer is yes.. maybe? When I took a closer look, I noticed a major crack encircling Lincoln's lower shoulder. But is it a crack or lamination error? The first image shows the error. The second image is of a normal 1955 penny for comparison, and the third highlights the error. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

A1agrl Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 07/21/2025 4:25 pm Hi J Buck... as a moderator, would it be helpful if I sent the pictures again as a new post? I know double posting is not allowed. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
