<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Itallmakescents, post: 836735, member: 18922&quot;]Back again with a fascinating 1955 Wheat Cent with errors. Hello to all......well here it goes.....</p><p>...I found this coin with other errors in a bag of Wheats that I just bought at an auction. Paid under $ 20 for all the coins. This is a 1955 wheat cent that has been widened out from side to side.On Obverse side it has Liberty struck more than 8-10 times at least above normal position and below normal position.( all raised details ) Motto , Lincolns Head ,is doubled &amp; tripled from being rotated or shifted. It appears to have rotated from a single point..more error to the left side on Obverse than right side and the same on reverse side. Reverse side shows an s in the center of wheat on the right side from States..Appears to have some raised features resembling letters like above the date?? more noticable in diff angles &amp; light. Also appears to have a S mint mark between the 9 &amp; 5 .Remnants of other 5&#039;s visable &amp; portions of #&#039;s. You can see collar marks or rim marks across coin. Liberty also covers over portions of Lincolns back.You really see different features with turning coin and light variations from getting close-ups. I do NOT try cleaning any coins or do anything to them..I take the pics in as found condition. As all should be. This coin has some fine black flake that looks to have covered the shiny portion on reverse and has come off from being in the bag..My thoughts??? Is it some kind of test coin ?...with true raised features...how could it be possible to have so many strikes ? never have I seen so many on one coin. Just have to see what else the bag has in store ...open to any suggestions to this one? thank you kindly for your time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
