    I don't see any doubling at all, sorry. There's a slight halo of red left around the digits so maybe that's creating an optical illusion for you?

    I don't see the repunch or the doubling. Perhaps a closer photo.
    Many of the 1955-S's were saved because it was the last business strike S for a while. I have a nice MS example somewhere.
    Here is Wexler's page on the 1955-S doubled dies.

    I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary. If there is doubling on the date it is usually worthless doubling caused by die deterioration. But that is not a doubled die variety unfortunately.

    I’m not seeing any doubling but that mint halo around the details is nice. I can’t tell if that’s an RPM or a small die chip or not.

    There is a listing on Variety Visa for 1955-S DDO/001. It shows a die chip on the left
    wheat ear as a ID marker. The hub doubling is a microscopic imprint. Double eye lid
    marker is key.
