here is an interesting link about the 1955 doubled die
Supply and demand. My uncle told me that my granddad bought the 42/1 merc dime that I have and "he thought he bought a 55 doubled die but I dont know where it is and I have the collection" and the guy wanted 80 a piece for them. This was in the 60's. My uncle said he can remember thinking he was crazy paying that much for a dime or penny. but the 55 doubled die is considered the king of doubled dies to a lot of people. although the 69s doubled die is a lot more valuable
