Cracked obverse die (error) and scratches (damage).
bob
Just damaged then? Not worth anything?
That seems to be a very nice bisecting rim to rim die crack (or maybe a lamination, I can't tell) and unless I'm missing it, I don't see one listed here.

First impression was lamination, but there is some strange light reflection by the date so it may simply be a glue layer on the coin.

Please show the full coin, face on, both sides, without editing the pictures to crop the edges. Bonus if you can add an edge-on shot near the date area.
I put it in a holder here is the best I can do to show
I'm still not sure what I'm looking at. Possible catastrophic die failure in progress?
Thanks ! I will look that up
Remember we are just spitballing here.
I found something interesting at first glance of your coin .
I've been researching a coin without an exact date and remembered a crack in, some what, of the same spot.
See the crack passing through the upper part of the last no. 5 in your 1955 dated coin, as seen below.

.
Now look at this image.
Arrows...... on the researching coin.
That's a 5, with could be another crack passing through the same upper part of a 5, but distorted and out of place.
So far that's all I got, I ran out of spit.
.
Ok thank you for the examples of pictures helps a lot! 🙏
Here's the full monty.
They shouldn't, because what he just showed you is actually damaged garbage.
I'm just driving solo, on a double lane highway, following a so called, damaged, garbage truck.
And....... "I can't drive 55".
So what are you trying to say??
You said that the pictures from emeraldATV helped a lot. I'm saying they should not have been helpful to you, because they are just photos of a random damaged coin.
The quality of your own photos is not great, but I agree with an earlier poster that your coin might have a lamination error.
Well I think he/she was just trying to point out the crack and thats what I took from it so ...to each it's own ya know
Like I stated in my first post.
Spitballing -
kicking a proper answer around, of a question, for someone who took the time to come here and ask the question.
There are a lot of 55's that are not garbage, just to be clear.
(Research works better than the cliff notes ikest. I'd love to continue this battle of wits but I see that your unarmed)
Play nice, now or the other images found go into a private message.
Out to lunch.
