I have a 1955s wheat penny. It has the A missing in the word America. I thought this was unique.

Actually the M is mostly missing - a bit of a grease filled die

I'm sorry, you're right I meant to say M in the comment. I guess A just came out , LOL
Is there something going on at the date and mint mark, though?
@Fraz
I do believe there's a little Doubling on the date and mint mark.

If you don't have this pick up point it is probably minor.
Consult variety vista for other possibilities

@Bamaphil .... The missing M is due to a grease filled die it seems.... Possible machine doubling on the date. Cannot see anything on the MM in that picture. Cheers, RickO
I find the grease filled die strikes interesting.
If struck through grease filled die wouldn't the grease start a tonning process ?
