1955 s over d mintmark d/d inverted s mintmark cent

I just bought a 1955 cent with a s over d mintmark d/d with a inverted s. As a error coin is it worth anything to collectors in gem bu condition?

Anyone ever heard of this kind of variation before?

 

How much did you pay for it?

Good, clear close-up?

1 dollar

 

What? That's a bit confusing.. Any pictures?

 

No pics yet coin is due here today. We shall see.... it was sold as a regular 1955 cent to me

 

I figured whats a dollar?.....but after i bought it i saw it in the pics he had online of it

 

The s is inverted like on a 1972 s with seriff triangle on top ball on bottom

 

And the s is stamped over a d plus there is doubling in 1955

 

Can anyone tell me if its genuine what it would be worth?

 

The doubling on the 1955 could be Die Deterioration. So then that would make it the Poor mans Doubled Die.. Which really isn't a true Doubled Die so not worth much. For the mintmark question you really need to show pictures.

 

There are two repunched mintmarks for 1955-D listed in the CPG. Need pics when you get the coin.

 

NOT LISTED.

 

And the inverted s on the coin?

 

There is no use speculating until we see the coin. There are so many aspects of die wear, planchet and strike anomalies which can lead an inexpert scholar into "seeing" MM anomalies which aren't actually there that photographic evidence becomes imperative before any conclusions can be drawn. The odds against are rather large, to say the least. Not impossible, but large. Keep in mind, people have been studying this one for 60 years....

 

I have no idea what you are trying to describe.

 

In anacronyms why would the owner use "obw" to describe the coin?

 

Okay, so post the photos. You keep asking what it's worth (I'm guessing the value will be that of an average cent of this date, mint, and condition), so why not provide what tools you have at your disposal that may allow us to do so.

 

Here it is from the guy not my pics that i bought it from. I REPEAT i Do not have the coin yet

 

No big thing, we will patiently await your own images.
