I just found this cent in a roll of coins its a nice looking coin probably a EF at least. To me it looks like it has strong doubling on all the front. The date has a lot of separation in it all through in god we trust looks to be doubling plus the word liberty. On the back every thing looks really good in excellent shape for a 55 out of a roll of coins. In this shape there hard to find just for a few cents you will give a little bit more for the one's like this.
You and I may be getting our wheat rolls from the same place. I must have had half the roll filled with 55's and 55D's (the other half was 56's )
I thought it was in pretty good shape I have one person tell me that is a nice coin than another person tells me it's not I thought it was fair I got some nice ones but I just found this one it look it had doubling on it
I'm not seeing DDO for this...or DDR. This would have to be one of the minor varieties for the date. Slightly out of focus, but it looks to be a normal cent.
I'd only keep it since it's a wheat penny. A quick google and this is what I found: https://www.coinstudy.com/1955-penn...=2ahUKEwig8eHdtv7wAhXVsJ4KHaDBD94Q9QF6BAgEEAI
I’m not seeing any doubling either. Looks like it may have the remnants of a die clash between the chin and bow tie.
I cleaned my glasses and enlarged the photo and still don't see anything but a slightly out of focus 1955 cent. Sorry.
I clicked best answer for VistaCruiser69, you made my day with this one! it needs to be memorialized!
Consider the source, most CT members know that ETSY is notorious for overpriced, misrepresented articles for sale, especially coins...jmho...Spark edit: no doubling, normal wear and tear, worth 2 cents all day, all night, 24/7/365...jmho...Spark
It happens every day. Someone's cleaning out grandma's old junk drawer, rounding up the loose change and comes across a well circulated 1955 no mint mark penny. Eventually finding themselves down at the "Nick Nack Paddy Wack" local watering hole, they spend their recently seized booty. Three hours in and haphazardly nursing roughly their 8th round, they strike up a conversation with another patron of the establishment who is equality inebriated. One thing leads to another and eventually the mention of a 1955 penny comes into conversation, with the other patron saying something to the effect "I've heard a 1955 no mint mark penny is worth a fortune". So the patron with the penny hopes onto the free wifi with his/her free government issued cell phone and punches in "1955 penny no mint mark" and BLAM! Etsy pops up. It's all history from that point on. And here we are today. Try and take that Cinderella story away from'em. Just try.
