The two 1955 DDO varieties....

So...the "Poor Man's DD" isn't the 1955 FS-01-1955-102?

You said "nope", and I honestly don't know. I recalled seeing the reference to a poor man's doubled die, thought it was the 1955, but it may have been another coin. Internet sleuthing came up with the PCGS link I posted, but the reference in the title came from an ebay listing. That in turn links to the FS-102 on PCGS. Some references refer to what's really DDD (die deterioration doubling) in the last 5. This one https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/1955-double-die-lincoln-penny-4022936 seems to describe the FS-102 and specifically calls it "poor man."

So the "poor man" thing might refer to more than one 1955, and some other coins too, since it's rather generic. The simple answer to the OP question should have been yes, I was aware that there's a second 1955 DDO.

 

The "Poor Man's" DDO isn't a DDO at all. It refers to certain late die state 1955 cents with die deterioration resulting in a doubled appearance on the right side of the second 5 in the date towards the rim. Pretty sure it happened on multiple dies and incurs no added value.

 

I just remembered - the one you gave me, Paddy, is the "cracked skull" variety with the big internal die crack on Lincoln's head.
