What did you find at Variety Vista? Wexler?…Spark

 

None.

And the correct numismatic terminology is Doubled and Tripled Die

 

I can't find listing anywhere

 

…and that usually means it is not die doubling. I believe what you have is damage or contact wear. The R/AMERICA is the only area to be affected and if you couple that with no listing from 2 of the leading sources after 44 years, well, you get the picture.

Personally, I run a check for varieties on every pre-2010 coin I get from circulation, and I’ve been tricked before from planchet flaws, wear and PMD. It comes with the territory. Just keep hammering away and keep on learning.

What caused the doubled die 1955 cents.

 

There is a small split in the roof if the memorial. The late 70's are some of the most under looked coins. There are $50 bags upon bags sitting and that includes 80 and 81.
for those type of coins, I wait till I find another like it.
Can you get better pics?

 

Hub doubling on the Die. That's why it's called a Doubled Die.
