1955 Doubled D Obverse

Hello all...I dont know much about the different errors but I found this in some wheat rolls I had not checked before that what rather interesting. On the obverse in the "D" of GOD it looks doubled as well as some funky stuff going on with the "E" in WE

I dont think this is too valuable as it is not anything dramatic but perhaps someone can point me in the right direction to find more about this. So what do you all think

  • I know there is a so called "poor mans Doubled Die" from 55 but not sure if that is it.

    Looks like machine doubling to me -

    The "poor man's" doubled die has two tails on the last "5." It is a machine doubling thing and not worth very much.
