<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coppercoins, post: 649056, member: 152&quot;]Okay, I&#039;m not really sure where to start...</p><p><br /></p><p>First off, there is no evidence in the images that this is a doubled die at all.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see any thick devices or notches that would signify it&#039;s a doubled die.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, the term &quot;poor man&#039;s double die&quot; is a complete misnomer.&nbsp; The 1955 cents bearing this ill-chosen name were struck with worn dies - not doubled dies.&nbsp; And for information sake, this anomaly exists on far more than just 1955 cents.&nbsp; I have found examples for more than 15 different years in wheat cents alone.&nbsp; It&#039;s simple die wear folks...has nothing to do with doubled dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Third, I believe this coin might be a repunched mintmark.&nbsp; I would have to see it more closely to tell for sure, but it appears there is a separation line on the top left curve of the S mintmark that would signify a repunching.&nbsp; It wouldn&#039;t add a lot to the value of the coin, but would qualify as a die variety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
