<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1603697, member: 36230&quot;]No, Richy... this is incorrect. Look at the photo posted by chiefbullsit&nbsp; and compare it to the provided image of your coin. It can easily be&nbsp; seen that your specimen is not the &quot;big one&quot;. However, and as I&nbsp; mentioned in my previous post, there are lesser doubled dies known for&nbsp; the 1955-P, but your photo (at least to my eyes) is not clear enough to&nbsp; determine anything beyond what I said before. What can be seen is the&nbsp; &quot;doubling&quot; on the second 5, but it is not hub doubling. This is a form&nbsp; of die deterioration doubling. Such coins are rather&nbsp; plentiful and commonly referred to as the &quot;poor man&#039;s doubled die&quot; even&nbsp; though they are, in fact, not a doubled die at all. If you search ebay,&nbsp; it is highly likely that you will find at least a few examples being&nbsp; offered as such. It is my personal belief that these coins are not&nbsp; premium worthy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would much enjoy being able to congratulate you on an excellent find,&nbsp; but it is more important to be honest. When looking for varieties, one&nbsp; needs to see what is actually there and be careful to avoid seeing what&nbsp; they want to.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you, sir.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
