I think that 55 is a Poor Man's DD

 

I’ll take poor lol!

 

Is a poor man’s 55 a true doubled die. @paddyman98 cuz I’m not sure

 

Cool!

 

I do believe the name is because the true awesome 1955 DDO value is a bit more.

From what I have read, no. Certain features of the die.

 

Is that wood? If so, nice!

 

Not wood. Just a hobo carved 1955 Lincoln Cent.

Wow! Nice!

 

Seems all shown above are from die deterioration. Here is a true one I purchased on 1970 for the huge amount (then) of $100 ( a weeks teaching salary). Notice where the 2 dates "9" merge together showing they are the same height from and thus a full impression from each time.

Very nice!!! Ty!

 

FINALLY, with the last '55, a TRUE D/D, and not MD, or deterioration, or other worthless doublings. Nice Zoid!.

 

Here’s a fake -

 

It does look fake. To me anyway.

 

Thanks!

 

Question.. so if someone were to find true Wheat 1955 DDO, which I knew it was not and the field looked like dirt, would you toss it?
