1955 Misligned? or Minor Double Died? perhaps both?

After looking through a large bag of pennies. Found an interesting 1955 penny. But couldn't quite tell if it's really considered a misaligned die... a minor double die. Perhaps both?

Looked through my 16x magnifier. Noticed the following:

the 'i" in "Liberty" seems to be doubled.
the motto individual letters seems to be doubled G O D... W E... U S T "Trust"
even the year... some interesting doubling in the 9 & the second 5

Above the word Liberty, we see a second line.

So I'm a little confused what this would be considered as.

Here are some images. They were photographed (i prefer scanning). ^_^



Any thoughts? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Woops ... "Above the word Liberty..." I meant above the word "Trust." My bad.

 

Id say nothing is wrong with it.

 

I have run into a lot of coins like that. I think it is fairly common.

 

1955 Wheat has a few die varieties but this is not WDDO-001.check out link below you may have one of the minor die varieties list there:kewl:

I agree with Jello, this is one of the lesser varieties, not the BIG ONE.

 

Thanks for the replies! Jello, thanks for the web link. Adding to my bookmarks. It's extremely useful.

known as a "poor man's doubled die".

It is actually die erosion.
