<p>[QUOTE="TheFinn, post: 3278212, member: 90102"]You are correct. The 1955 Doubled Die was issued on purpose by the Philadelphia Mint. There was a coin shortage due to a hurricane in 1955, and the person in charge had to decide whether to release 20,000 doubled die coins, or melt them and be short. He made the decision to release them. If they had been errors, they would not have been released (cracked planchets, laminations, double-stamped pieces, etc.).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
