If I spotted him broken down on the highway with a tornado approaching, I wouldn't stop.

I'm not the Die Variety specialist, but
it looks like damage to the "D", to me.

See all the rim nicks on the reverse,
and hits on the obv. - probable cause.

Photo closeups aren't the best, due to
lighting and angle, but I don't believe
it's a RPM....

sorry - let's see what other variety collectors
say about it.

 

The D mm was hit and the top pushed off the base by force. Damage. The top of the underlying portion is more flat than curved like an S would be. Jim

 

I agree with Fred Weinberg and Jim, looks like damage to me. I do not remember ever seeing a D/S variety of 1955 cent listed anywhere. There is a 1955 D/S variety nickel.

 

It's a damaged coin.
And the photos are 1 dimensional.
55 has 14 D/D and 5 S/S
With that many varieties don't you think a better example would have been found and verified?

A neat trick I leaned from a science forum to defuse lighting and get a cleaner picture was to use a ping pong ball cut in half with a hole in it about the size of the microscope lens. Assuming your lightssource is a bunch of leds in a circle around the lens. That should help get clearer shots. Remember, it's not about just picking the photos that show what you want to be seen, snap a bunch of picks rotating the coin and regardless of what they show post.

 

So, is the OP going take clearer close up pictures for us?

 

I see no need, but hey I am game if the OP thinks he/she can do a better job.

 

If you ever see an off camera flash, it comes with a diffusion dome which is a similar semi-solid white material as a 1/4-1 gallon milk container and a ping-pong. Even my old Minolta & Sekonic Light Meters had a white domed plastic thing over it's sensor for the same diffusion situation in reverse.

You can use one side of a cut-up plastic milk jug too (the translucent white ones) with a hole in it for the cell camera lens to shoot through. This will help to diffuse the light even from cell camera LED lights. Still better to have offset diffused lighting but it definitely helps.

If you really want to get cheap even a white sheet of paper works not too bad for diffusion. Can fold it flat or opened for varying diffusion with detached light sources.

 

I have been Making Haters Great Again for some time now...

Sorry, but as usual, you have nothing there.

But the good news is I find your overly confident ignorance uplifting and amusing. The way you persevere with factually wrong post after factually wrong post, backwards insight, and unparalleled streams of misinformation really is entertaining.

Most impressive is your often misunderstood application of what constitutes proof and how it is sought.

See, for you to make a claim, you are the one burdened by producing evidence and excluding all other possibilities. But you uncharacteristically insist the "haters" are the ones who must prove you wrong. It doesn't work that way, but your persistence is nauseatingly charming.

In describing you to others, I respectually find you akin to a traveling carnival ring toss game operator whereby others know when they play they are never going to win but they just like the poor, pathetic chap anyway.

Best of luck in your eternal search for an actual Mint error and for your continued push to try and make fools out of people much higher on the IQ scale than yourself.
