Just pulled a few that caught my eye. I didn't catch the die crack on the 1955 until I was photographing the coin. The crack extends from the rim and across the head.
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.

Stunning and gorgeous...!!!
What's going on with the date on top right?
And all those obverse and reverse showing doubling are just machine right? My peepers is getting old.
Pretty coins! Here's one of my Roosies. Not much color but still an exceptional coin.
Your coin is proof that heavy die clashes can invade the deeper recesses of a die.

Right, Pete!
Very nice!
Nice set of Rosies.... significant die crack on the '55...Cheers, RickO
I have quite a few of the same die cracked 1955 dimes. We called them "uncombed hair." Also had a die crack we called "horn head" but i forget the date. Makes me want to go try and dig them up from their slumber place and post them.
Nice lot of Rosies!
I have a couple 55s with the same die crack myself.
