[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 761973, member: 4350"]Hi, The terminology for the 1955 cent would be doubled die, if it were one. It is not. I don't really see any evidence of a type that appears doubled due to die wear either, which of course is not a doubled die. It is mislabeled and has been for years, a poorman's doubled die even though there is no die doubling. The worn die gave the last 5 or 55 the appearance of doubling and the coin was hyped as a cheap substitute for a real 1955 Doubled die and it was sold as a way to fill in a hole in a coin album for cheap. Unfortunately the incorrect name stuck and some people think it's a doubled die when it is not. The 1944 D cent, has, in my opinion slight potential to be a 1944 D/S as even in the picture you can see what might be the small projection above the D that might indicate the D/S. It is impossible to tell anything for sure though as the picture is too small. Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]
