The photo below is showing an image of two different coins (The coin in question to the right- and a different coin's # five on the left) in the reverse or a negative style photo. I have the other coin.

Now do the same thing with the 6. This thread is increasingly ridiculous. Manipulated photos. Overlays. All on a corroded 1965 memorial cent that you think is a 1955 memorial cent?

SEND IT IN.
Finally, someone is asking to show what their thinking about.
At your service.
The first photo looks on point showing a # six.
.
.
But, if you look close in the second photo, it does not support a # six. All I did was cock the image in two different directions.
Same photo, don't forget. Five, five, all night long, if you take in all the different photos presented.
I'm 90% there and gaining ground fast. Help ? Questions or directions should help confirm it's origin.

If the reverse is a regular wheat cent, then wtf is the point of the whole thread? It's a corroded 1955 wheat cent. What was that whole story about preparing new dies for the 1959 change?
At least your a cheap date. Throw a pile of damaged corroded coins on the table and you'll amuse yourself all night.

Easy on Emeraldtv. Name calling “ your a cheap date”. I believe your advice is move on if you don’t like it. Don’t even open it. I expect better from you. I believe you pontificate on each to their own and especially with collecting. Thanks 🙏

You're a cheap date is hardly an insult. It just means you can entertain him for not a lot of money.
My frustration is that the OP went on about the creation of new dies etc and never showed the reverse. It made it seem like he thought this was a mule. Then all of a sudden, his corroded cent had a normal wheat reverse.
So, you tell me, what is this thread actually about?

OP. Pointing out a 55 penny that he feels is interesting. Can’t get more collector than that.
That evades the question. The original post was:
"A good place to start

Aha,
This coin is not a corroded coin.
On the other hand, maybe, that was the cause of the press spitting it out," after it was struck", (?) "inspected and tossed" (?)

The damage on the obverse has structure. 98% sure is where I'm at.
E-PlURIBUS-UNUM is also in play. Just waiting for that best photo.

So,
Never even thought about this ,but as I've been tracking down the aspects of this coin, I stumbled onto something.
I'm not sure how to explain it yet, lets just say the camera program's feature's can be used as a press strike.
Never mind.
THIS PHOTO WAS MADE UP OF JUST TWO PHOTO"S (same photo also) . With two different transparent values.
I made it, because it looked cool while exploring and is not to confuse or imply anything.

I lined up the wheat stalks and this is the result.

1954 ...time to review and examine, with a detailed evaluation.
The 1955 double die,
Several thousand, pieces were struck and released by mistake, with full knowledge by the mint.
Could this have been a commemorative act as a "memorial,"or to mark an event ? look at the 1969 S (pace) ddo cent?

Funny thing is this coin was found in a roll at my dinner table.
I'm just making sure I'm not talking out my butt so to say.
Many photo's were produced and many more are to follow. Also using three PC's to show all angles and their images.
This coin is very interesting, or better yet, very challenging as all points are still a go in my theory.
It's like waiting for that snow lepeard, to show it's self to the camera.
I'm picky when it comes to, how it reads and it's graphic history.
I'll let you know when and if I think I'm wrong. I'm easy that way.
All photo's are from this coin and no help from me other than filtering.

No offense, but no one has any idea what your theory is...
You never know. His theory might well dovetail with the mafia and Omega $20's -- I mean who's to say! (Man I miss those threads from a few years back.)
@emeraldATV said:
The first photo is a 100% opaque image. Some of the red stars are sandwiched between the two photos, (template and layover) to show no adjustments of the images and how transparent the overlay is laying not to cover any anomaly's.
Black lines were also placed on top of the overlay to show the overlay's shape.
Note the rim and the # one fall exactly in place like a piece in a puzzle.

This coin is off the charts, with more to follow.
Something's off the charts all right, but then, I never quite saw all the images in constellations either. Perhaps I'm not partaking of the right substances.
This Coin is, without a doubt a 1955 Lincoln Cent, with the wrong reverse.
I'm still asking for photographic directions so you can show me why the upper statement could be incorrect.
Or is it make ready for the press ?
Is the die markers on the reverse usefull.
This was really fun and the research photo's have their own flash drive as it's to much memory in my PC.

I can't say I've seen, or even read the adventures of ...who ?
Although, I could have, but making no impression here.
.
Remember the obverse of the coin's folded over rim ? E PLURIBUS UN....UM, does, make it's impression.
The trick is to show this in a way (with photo's) that I'm satisfied.
The dried grease or crud was forced to the outer wall of the strike like a centrafuse.
Can't means won't ?
I think I can, soon.
Keep in mind, I'm hardly working,
because it's no stress fun.

Why is it that random Lincoln cents often are the ones that result in these kind of crazy posts. I get it a little bit, billions of coins, most of which are damaged from circulation, but I just really understand how great coins are posted and get 10 replies, and “poem writing” gets 80. Emerald, I like your enthusiasm, I frankly liked slicks enthusiasm as well, but it ended there with silly theories about extremely common coins. (Please anyone let me know if I’m missing something here)
You are an active member of the group. You must realize that none of your theories are correct, and there are literally millions of coins made from the same die as anything you have posted, showing none of the “issues” you mention.
If you are having fun and enjoying yourself, I think that is great. But if you are believing a theory about damaged coins being something special, support will wain for you, especially as it seems you are the new Slick!

The damage to 5s is most likely from a coin rolling machine. Sheared letters or numbers around the periphery is very common on older cents.
