1955 D Error

Plachet weighs 2.7 grams. I understand about the 50s and acid washing coins for soda machines. Seems to me to be a real double die. I don't detect any machine doubling but lack of material not 100%. Is it a 1955 D double die? Please leave out negative comments. I really enjoy the forum Thank You.

Leaves me speechless on the quality of the doubling. Lincoln with a mowhawk no less

 

Looks like a dryer coin and here's one I own .

 

Looks like it took a spin in a rock tumbler.

Where do you see doubling?

 

I dont see doubling. For a year that is supposed to have very pronounced doubling I feel it should be more pronounced here. Of course the coin is so degraded you would probably have to send it in to an expert to even have a chance of finding out.

 

Yes... It is not a Doubled Die

 

Here is a link that may help you make a judgement on your coin.http://www.lincolncentresource.com/Top50.html

 

Nice reverse on the OP. It looks like a 1. ( Is that P-1, or AG-1?)

 

I have to be honest with you, it looks more like a pizza pie than a "double die."

 

What about the plachet? Its underweight, it has tapered bull nose edges and it has thousands of tiny scratches that give it a fiber look. It kind of reminds me of my 1957 D.

 

My best guess is that your coin was stuck in the discharge water pump of a washing machine, the dirty water going by it made it flutter and vibrate which hammered the obverse, and the reverse was exposed to the water going by at a high speed which sort of sand/water blasted it smooth. Just like rocks in a river.
Some of the metal has been removed by this action, and it is smooth on the edges.
