A member posted a similar Cent just yesterday https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1955-one-5-doubled.317855/#post-3101920

 

Extra thickness also on in God we trust close to the rim

 

The first 5 inside the curve see it buddy

 

Wear and tear due to Circulation and worn die strike.. It's not a Doubled Die

 

Got ya thanks buddy

 

Interesting find.

 

I believe those still sell for a few bucks.

 

Cool looking right

 

I was looking at buying a real 1955 DD. Whilst looking I saw a bunch of $5-$10ish 1955 D/D identified cents. Really confusing since the real 1955 DD is over $1k. I need to look more into what in the world it was when I have time, but I suspect it's what your cent has.

 

D/D means Repunched Mint Mark.. D over D

Are you understanding it right?
