Regardless of whatever someone considers rare or not, there will always be room for one in my collection. Take note that despite being able to find one online, ain’t nobody given ‘em away.

Depending on the severity to which you collect it could be rare or not rare at all. I got my first one not long ago ms64 RB. I cherish it and it makes me happy when I look at it
Welcome to the forum. Picture please. I've been collecting for 60 years and have never had one, so congrats.

I've always liked the 1955 doubled die, rare or not. This is one of the coins you could show to a non-collector and they would pretty much say it's really cool. I know because I have one in AU-58 and have showed either the coin or a photo of it to various non-collector friends and family.

Are there any other US coins with equal or more prominent DDO or DDR or is this the king of all US doubled dies?

In a word, “NO.” It is conditionally rare with full mint red, but everything from R&B to Brown is not that tough. With an estimated mintage of 20,000, and a high survival rate, there is nothing rare about it.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
The reverse would show the middle one is the Grove Minting restrike.............
Thought that was the case. Am I to understand that all genuine DDO's have the upper 55 on top of the lower 55, or is that just on one particular obverse die? Your restrike's upper 55 is below the lower 55, but is this true with all or most counterfeit's. Thanks for the info.

I agree.
I have a PCGSMS-64RD 1972 Doubled Die and when I show it to non collectors, they freak out!
The other coins are all ho-hum to them.

I personally have never owed one because it is not a rare coin, way too many. Very cool looking for sure.
You need a real one that looks like this
How rare are errors for this variety? I've never seen one yet!
This is a fabulous version of the 1955 doubled die cent coupled with an off center strike. I happen to own a PCGS AU-58 1955 DDO cent with a CAC gold sticker as well as a PCGS MS-65RD 1955 DDO with a CAC green sticker and still look up to yours even more.

If you're still checking your change for them, well, yes, they're rare.
If you want to buy one and have it by next week, shouldn't be a problem...... so maybe not so rare.
I gave up looking through my change to find a Chain Cent long ago.
Yep. Depends on how you define "rare".
You gotta love the V.D.B. on the reverse.

The 76-S DDO Trade Dollar is very strongly doubled, but so absurdly rare that most folks have never even heard of it.
Pictures please
NICE
Thanks for sharing. Jim

I don't have photos. I believe a couple of forum members have examples, perhaps they can post them, if they come across this thread. It's in the CPG.

I wonder if anyone here ever found one searching rolls? That would be something!

HEE HEE HEE.
The reverse of the coin is a V.D.B.
That makes it TRIPLE QUADRUPLE rare!
