    So I was going through some wheat pennies and I came across these. Any info would be great.

    Looks like wear to me? Unless your possibly talking about the inner crescent of the 5's?
    Second penny seems like it spent most of it's life in a high temperature climate? I could be wrong however...

    The '55 is the famous "poor mans doubled die". Some people will pay a buck or two for it but it's nothing more than machine doubling. The red one is just toning.

    The '55 is definately the "poor man's doubled die." I bought one a number of years back just to fill a hole. A guy on my income will never likely own the real one!
