I'm guessing you were thinking the _other_Doubled Die...

    Does the regular 1955/1955 even exist in 67 RED? Something tells me it doesn't as these didn't come from rolls.

    I had to peek. Highest RD is a lone PCGS MS65+. Highest graded is a lone MS66 BN. Tough nut in high grades.

    Well, I will admit it...from the title, before opening the thread, you had my heart jumping and beating like a jackhammer.
    Was a letdown, as I WAS thinking it was the main one, but still, good on ya for what you got.

    I knew that there are more than one 55 DDO (MS & PR), but I was hoping. What did take me by surprise is the dual FS#.

    My jaw dropped at the thread title. I'm slowly picking it up again...

    NICE consolation prize, though!

    Do they call that one the "poor man's" DDO?

    Link, PCGS values it at $400: http://www.pcgs.com/cert/83428622

    One of my favorite varieties. A decent doubled die on both sides! I sold a PR65 red a few years ago for around $325.

    Nice coin and grade.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Indeed a very nice piece. I've still got a few raw in my errors/world collection. Very fun to find.

    As mentioned above, the poor man's doubled die, I thought, is not a true doubled die. It's just a misnomer, and the last 5 in the date shows signs of die deterioration (or being loose and vibrating). I see a lot of post '64 dimes that do this, especially 66's.

  • AzurescensAzurescens Posts: 2,793 ✭✭✭✭✭

    These get sold as poor man's doubled die. Just that faint shadow on the last five. I think this is a beautiful coin and I'm glad it's very light.

    You'll see messed up cents in 57 and 58 from Denver that tend to have pock marks and gouges, which end up leaving drops of metal on the coin or filling random letters or numbers. I've got tons from unc rolls. Neat but distracting, fun for a kid to find.

    Nice coin but that's a Charlie Brown "kick the football" if I've ever seen one!

    I can never seem to do better than a 65 on any classic coin so congrats on that.

    Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
