Anything here?

It's just "die deterioration doubling" on the last 5. Not a doubled die at all.

 

Nope. Not a Doubled die variety.

That's Die Deterioration doubling which puts it in the worthless doubling category.

FYI - the correct Numismatic terminology is actually doubled die, not double die. Big difference

 

If you flip the coin over all the 1955 DDs have a slightly rotated reverse.
I don't think anyone is pulling this coin out of circulation any more.

 

Here is some good information
1955 Poor Man's Doubled Die

 

I’m glad @paddyman98 posted that link. It is known by as A Poor Man’s Doubled Die. Worth maybe $5.00 retail.

 

That’s a very nice one. You should be pleased to have that coin in your collection.

 

Kevin! You have such a rare an iconic penny, sir!
#1 Best example of a doubled die in my opinion.

Remember when they mentioned that coin in the Weird Al Yancovich movie, UHF? It's at the end.

 

Nice coin! Trade ya for my 1955 Franklin half "Bugs bunny" variety?

 

I'm not much into doubled dies in general, but I would love to own one of those!
