<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coop, post: 642086, member: 17656&quot;]The reason the 1950&#039;s coins are mushy, die cracked, die broke, extreme die worn is that they literally squeezed every Cent out of the dies past normal use for the dies. Some BU coins from this era still look bad. So although they made more coins with the die, sometimes more is worth less in collectors eyes. The &quot;so called&quot; 1955 &quot;Poors mans Doubled die&quot; is actually worn devices and occurs on other years as well from this era. People look at the worn areas right of the 55 think they have something. </p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1955P-POOR_MANS_DD.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>All they need to do is look at the rest of the coin. Mushy devices, die cracked and some of the wheat lines don&#039;t even exist on BU coins. So if you spent your entire coin budget on buying them, you would be the poor man when you went to sell them. Made educated choices when buying coins. Find your nitch in this great hobby and realize what is collectable and what is something to toss back into circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
