Real or fake? 1955 cent double struck (not DDO) Not my coin, but I found it interesting. Weird how I can't see the double strike on the reverse....

Did he edit his post? If he did, then now he made you look like a jerk. Might as well edit yours too. Bump for anymore comments on the coin.

Hobo read the number wrong. It could be considered a 7 digit palindrome. An 8 digit one would be more desireable. Preceding zeros are really...
How was I being sarcastic? The D on the quarter is obviously clearer than the other letters, so it pretty much confirms that the dropped letter is...
