Is this a labelled variety?

I was going through a roll of 1955-s lincolns and found several of these. The 9, 5 and s are all filled. Looking online, I can find references to "filled s", "filled 9" and 'filled 5", but not all three. Surely this is a known type? Am I missing something?

The 9 looks like it took a hit and was flattened but the other two look like die chips. Very minor and a keeper.

 

All 3 are Die Chips. I've seen an example of it.

You also gave a Poor Man's Doubled Die. Not an actual Doubled Die.

That's all caused by a worn die. Die Deterioration is the culprit.

 

It's definitely interesting to have all the die chips, A poormans doubled die is not technically a DDO. It is a die deterioration issue, so it could happen to any of the 55S dies used.

 

"Die Chips" on a TPGS label covers all three.

 

It's still interesting. I would, seal it, keep it, share it. Thanks!

 

Thanks to everyone for the die deterioration information! I'd seen that on other coins and was wondering what it was - I knew it wasn't true doubling, but in some cases its impressive anyway.
