you don't have an option for NO!

 

I'm with Frank. NO! A real 1955 DD is so prominent you wouldn't even ask.

 

What a silly question.

 

Just wondering what causes the images seen especially on the 5s..

 

poor mans doubled die, it was just a over used die.

 

that is fairly common on the mid to late 50s wheats. The dies were way overused causing what you are seeing on your cent. Die deterioration doubling it what it goes by. More commonly known as the poor mans doubled die. 1955 and 1958 come to mind as I have seen the most from those two dates. No added premium, just a very useful piece of information that will help you determine future coins with DDD.

 

Photography could be better.

PS. Someone stole your second "d".

 

What about this one

 

Thanks for the info. Just getting into this

 

Now come on, he's just learning! He's reaching out to you and us for help! Why do you criticize him so? Why do you put him down like he doesn't know one darn thing? You criticize his photography then these typos he made on "doubled dies." Didn't you ever make typos? You should be reported for this! You're a troll! If you didn't have anything constructive to answer, you shouldn't have answered! You should be encouraging new members, not discouraging them! I wouldn't blame him if he never collects coins again because of you!

PS: Are you beginning to get the idea on how effortless it is to dismantle a member for just providing a negative opinion?

PPS: Nothing personal, Chris. I'm just trying to provide a heads-up on how predictable this moronic, reporting-happy type is. Feel free to use the foregoing as a blueprint for that. You moderators might grab a clue, here, too. I'm just saying...

 

Wait to take your image until you have some natural lighting, otherwise your image will turn out like this ..

Way to dark to really see what going on ..

 

"Nothing personal, but moronic"? I'll have you no that I gradiated from elementry school.

Have another cup of coffee!

Chris is right, how can you make anything out of the OP images .

To much wild guessing going on in this thread ...

 

This is what it should look like.

 

If possible - take your coins out of the 2x2's when photographing - you get a better picture as the Mylar film distorts the image a bit.

 

still no

 

Chad,
this is a common (and I feel misleading) representation of a 1955 ddo. A true, authentic, 1955 ddo Lincoln cent will be a clear double strike AND cost you at least $1400.00. See "robec" response above.
