1955 S S/S/S North also a Double Die?

Found some doubling on the S in trust - just wondering if it could be a DD?

Nice! RPM-001
I see doubling in Trust.
Can you take another picture.
Maybe a full pic of liberty to see if it is the same S/s/S Die.

 

Looks more like MD on the motto to me, but that is a nice S/S/S

 

I think logic would dictate - knowing this is a single die, and having been studied so extensively as a major RPM - someone might have already noticed if it was also a DD. And the rest of the examples would show the same doubling. Therefore, we must assume your example is MD.

 

The die chip at the bottom of the 5 does not come up on variety vista.
It is he only reason I asked.

 

It's pretty prominent in the writeup at the Lincoln Cent Resource. That's the problem with text-only writeups.

 

Sorry about the pic. being so bad. Ed

 

RPM, die scratches, die crack, doubling (probably MD) - this coin has it all! NICE find !!!

 

Plus a little struck thru on the O on ONE??

 

That's a typically weak spot on Lincolns, being directly opposite a very metal-hungry area of the obverse. You can only throw so much metal around in the milliseconds of a strike - what, maybe 100 milliseconds to strike a Lincoln at 150 per minute and factoring feed and outfeed? - so this has to be considered a design flaw from a minting standpoint. It's a prime place to help identify a "good" strike on a Lincoln.

 

great repunched mint mark , its great , its not a double die but just a cool piece

 

Yes. Lincoln's deep bust swallows those up.

 

I'm not touching that.

 

Thanks all for your reply's. I will just put it away for my daughter and in 30 years she can sell it or give it to a boyfriend.

 

Nice RPM .

 

It's worth that. This coin is still one of the most prominent repunched mint marks in the entire Lincoln series, and years from now when there are no coins in circulation and only collectors have coins, it will still be in demand.

 

I have been looking for the write up, in Lincoln cent resourse and have not been able to find it. Any help?

 

Ask and ye shall receive.

Interesting. That is definitely the same S/S/S shown on lincolncentresource.com, but that S in TRUST looks deceptively split. I think I'd have fallen for it if the RPM weren't there to tell me there was probably only one obverse die for these.

 

After going through a hoard of 55-S rolls a while back, I ended up with about 15 of these across all the known stages. I just looked at them all and none show any sort of split on TRUST.
