1955 double die?

Not much if, and that's a massive IF, it is of this variety. A little possible clashing (on a date with a mintage well over 300 million) isn't sufficient evidence to positively identify from a small photo.

It's even more then that, if he was on the thread I posted, there's a price guide there .

Andy, it's right under your nose ....

 

Even more than what? You post a lot of threads, Rick, so why not simply repost the link here? That said, since when is a price guide, particularly for varieties, an absolute definer of value? I still have a bunch of crap leftover from 09 that, according to Mr. Wexler's site, should total up to a decent chunk of change, but the fact is quoting a "should be" value and actually finding someone to pay it (or even a fraction of it without a ridiculous investment of time and energy) are two different things.

Do you remember, perhaps a few years back, when a kid posted a shield nickel, displaying a doubled date, and asked if it was an RPD? One of our self-crowned "experts" not only declared it to be one, but also took it upon himself to attack anyone who questioned his conclusion. Months later, when an acknowledged expert looked at the coin, he determined it to in fact display strike doubling, yet the coin, of course, had already ended up available on eBay as an RPD. The point is that a misattributed coin pulled from the pocket and now residing in someone's personal collection is of little (at least immediate) danger, but this isn't always the case and is why great care should be taken when attributing coins posted to the forum.

The OP is very young, rather new to the hobby, and seemingly cares more about value/premiums than the whys and hows, so it's not at all unreasonable to believe an improperly attributed coin could come back to haunt him. I'm sorry, but possible minor clashing simply isn't enough to, with absolute certainty, attribute such a minor and insignificant variety from such small photos.
