I see heavy flow lines and spreading on the coin, almost 100% indicative of die deterioration doubling. Pretty much no doubt that is what it is.
Because being out of the house, doing activities and socializing with others is active...not lazy. It takes effort to go and do stuff out of the...
55.
The last 2 photos just scream "fake" to me.
Looks like an IHC that has been plated with another metal. It is PMD (post-mint damage). Keep up the hunt!
Err... Well, odd comments aside, those are some nice picups.
Things used to cost something and a half cents. According to wikipedia, at the time it was discontinued it had the approximate purchasing power...
If you say "RARE!!! DOUBLE DIE DATE DOUBLING ON THE DATE! 1 OF A KIND!" Then I would be obligated to pay upwards of $1000. :P

A little weakness and slightly rough. Still, a beautiful coin that I could only wish of owning. Seriously...great details (especially on the...
We need clearer photos. Can't tell anything from the ones provided.
Yes, looks like 1955D-1DO-001, also a cherry picker's variety. Value is hard to determine with closeups, would need whole pictures of the coin to...
Man, not a lot of attention given to this uncommon and strong doubled die! Congrats, clutchy....I hope to find one of my own some day!
That one is selling for so much because it is a mint state coin (MS63), which is quite the high grade for a coin like this, especially a valuable...
No offense rascal, but why should a genuine doubled die not be listed as such? It is the discretion of the searcher as to whether or not toss out...
