SaturnD51 Valued Member United States 395 Posts	Posted 03/10/2023 10:12 pm No value. I have too many of these coins and I wish they were worth something. When my Father was alive and collecting coins with me I believe we found about fifteen of them They are called 1955 poor man's double die. Some people call them a 1955 shift just like the 1953 shift. I have found many of those coins too. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I am one person who has tried all my life (I'm 71 now) to find a 1955 double die penny. No luck and do not believe I will ever find one. Hopefully you will.When you find a 55 DDO penny, boy will you know it. Strong doubling on 1955, Liberty and In God We Trust. The letters will be almost floating away from the other letters. Good Luck Coop76. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/11/2023 11:30 am Coop76, Did you check all three reference sites for a match? If so, what attribution number do you think it might be? It is obviously not the famous DDO. John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 64167 Posts	Posted 03/11/2023 12:02 pm That one you have is called "The Poor Man's" Doubled Die - it is simply MD. A long time ago, I fell for this as well - but then there was no internet to look it up to verify at that time. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Coop76 Valued Member United States 145 Posts	Posted 03/11/2023 2:00 pm Ok thankyou and it's to bad this is not recognized as a double die I already knew is was not the famous for I have seen one in beautiful condition at a local coin shop and I was amazed on how pronounced the double was. I was just seeing something here that I surly would have thought it's would be a double die I just couldn't find any match on multiple coin platforms so I had to ask for some help, maybe next time I'll ll find something spectacular but chances of being in circ are slim to none and if so condition would be questionable I'm sure. Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
