Message:: [QUOTE="desertgem, post: 701539, member: 15199"]The term "Poorman's Double Die" doesn't just apply to the 55 evidently. here is an Ebay listing by a B & M store for a 1969-S.  It is difficult to expect collectors to be more ethical than dealers who should know better, IMO. But I have never seen a 55 listed as "Deteriorated Die 55" whereas I have seen many "Poorman's " from ebay, to forums BST, to the Big adazines. <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1969-S-Lincoln-Cent-Poormans-Double-Die-Gem-BU_W0QQitemZ120370706714QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual%3Fhash%3Ditem1c06a7391a%26_trksid%3Dp3286.m20.l1116" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1969-S-Lincoln-Cent-Poormans-Double-Die-Gem-BU_W0QQitemZ120370706714QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual%3Fhash%3Ditem1c06a7391a%26_trksid%3Dp3286.m20.l1116" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1969-S-Lincoln-Cent-Poormans-Double-Die-Gem-BU_W0QQitemZ120370706714QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item1c06a7391a&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116</a>[/QUOTE]
