<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 8211476, member: 106826&quot;]Keep in mind that the Poorman&#039;s Doubled Die 1955 is not a doubled die at all.&nbsp; It&#039;s a 1955 with varying degrees of die deterioration.&nbsp; If not for the Holy Grail 1955 DDO, it&#039;s doubtful that the Poorman&#039;s Doubled Die would be anything at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first step is determining if your coin has any doubling on it.&nbsp; Once you establish that, then you can determine Class of Doubling and then start to look for the markers.&nbsp; We can tell by your coin that it is in a later die state, probably LDS and not the die set (Obverse anyway) that had the die wash about the 5s in the date.&nbsp; This is a different working die altogether.&nbsp; Wrong die...you will never find the diagnostic markers on it that are captured by the various attribution sites.&nbsp; Variety hunters need to be mindful of this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your 1955 was not coined by the die that coined the Poorman&#039;s Doubled Die.&nbsp; As for which minor variety this might otherwise be, I don&#039;t see any doubling in the photo&#039;s you provided.&nbsp; Just typical die wash/attrition about the outer devices of IGWT.&nbsp; The dies in the 50s were run to LDS and VLDS before being decommissioned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
