This is on the bay. Why in the world would anyone leave a 55DD in a roll staring them right in the face? What's the deal? Enlighten me please.

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
End #1: 1955 DDO Wheat (Ch. UNC)
- Amazing Uncirculated example, one of the rarest most sought after errors!
End #2: 1955 Wheat (GEM BU RED)
3K+ great feedback
Because I do not believe any collector would leave it there, even though these look old, would seller create these rolls knowing that they will get more than they would like this than if pulled from roll and graded?

Becaue they think they can make a killing selling it to people who hope to find 49 more in the roll?
Coin Rarities Online
My first reaction is "RUN FORREST RUN"!!!
The coin looks very nice and as legit as it gets. I think seller will get what the DD is worth and more because of the unknown 48 other coins. I think what CRO said above is correct.
What I'd like to know is where does the seller get hundreds and hundreds of rolls of anything? Where, how do they wrap them? These can't be old wrappers from back in the day.
My local coin shop keeps the dreck in coffee cans. Couldn't make up this many rolls if their life depended on it.
Authentic on top, counterfeit on bottom.
Another image from the listing below, the first 5 of the date is more square, similar to the counterfeit image, MHO.
That SCARES me!!!
Edited to add.......NOBODY in their right mind would leave a real 55 DDO in a roll like that!

Perhaps the 55DDO is real but damaged?

This is the coin being sold and bidders spot the treasure and the battle of greed kicks in - the sellers vs. the bidders.
The seller usually wins will a higher profit then selling the end roll coins separately along with the junk cents in the roll.

And of course the seller does NOT offer refunds for this auction. It smells bad to me .

On the good coin the bottom 1955 appears to be on top of the top 1955.
The roll coin looks to be the opposite.
And on the second five the top looks shorter and fatter than both.
But I'm no where close to being an expert on these
And they make me dizzy looking at them.

Hoard the keys.
In fact I am banned by the seller listing the rolls because I called them out on their rolls after buying one to prove a point. It had a red wheat reverse on one end and a red 1909 wheat obverse on the other. All of the other coins in between the 2 end coins were all nasty 40s and up about good coins.
Buy from the right " Dealer " , I'm sure you could get a bag of those.
Maybe even a 55 gal drum full.... if you really wanted a bunch.
To some people - those are about as special as a freshly made washer.
The usual diagnostics for the very convincing struck counterfeits are wide, flat lettering and some graving work between the doubled letters. These look well formed and rounded.
Other giveaways...sharp, thin rims and letters to close to the edge...can't be seen because of the wrap.
It would be foolhardy to bid. These supposed bank wrapped rolls are almost always staged. But my guess is the 55DDO is not counterfeit. It's probably damaged.

See what happens. Craziness could happen, ya never know.

It is likely a stock image of a roll that will never go out and will be reused over and over again.

caveat emptor stupidium
If I want a 1955 doubled die cent, I'll go out and buy one (which I did many years ago). I would not figure on getting it from a roll of "pigs in a poke."
