    @certainteed

    Compare to what is listed here:

    http://varietyvista.com/01a LC Doubled Dies Vol 1/DDO 1955.htm

    Using “L” for Lincoln cent not a good idea because there is another cent with “L”.

    Enjoy!

  • Sorry ! I did not know that

    Welcome to the Forum!

    Yes, "LC" is usually the shorthand for Large Cent...

    Is that wrapping machine damage or is just the lighting on the right and bottom of the coin?

    I was lucky enough to cherrypick one from a jar search. I do not believe yours is the DDO-2
    Here is what the coin looks like in the raw

    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
  • I took picture with iphone look better in person the site that was posted by hemispherical it shows all the diagnostics of FS_102

    Hey certainteed,
    Look right above your avatar in your last post and see that word GOD from IN GOD WE TRUST on the Lincoln cent.
    Yup the one I posted right above your name.
    Notice how the work GOD is showing nice doubling ?
    Now look at that same word on the coin you posted and notice how the word lacks the doubling?

    Does the word GOD on your coin show that exact same doubling?
    If it does you got a winner, if it doesn't you don't.

    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
  • It looks real strong the L in liberty spreads on to the rim ,GOD show exact strong doubling .

    A 1955 large cent?

    Just remember...the advice you receive on the site is worth every bit of what you paid for it.

    We were all afraid to say anything. We weren't sure how you'd take it.
