Hi - Has anyone come across a 1955-S with the errors seen on these photos? Lincoln's bust is flattened and some of the lettering on the reverse is not sharp. Thank you.

Yes, I have something like that I've been wondering about. Let me go find it.

Grease filled?

@GregMartin - Is the coin yours?

Looks like a partially grease filled die on the reverse. This is not uncommon.
Can’t tell anything from the photo on the Obverse.
Check the weight. The planchet might be slightly thin.
If it's yours, I would get it out of that old 2x2 flip with the rusty staples and put it in a new one.

Here you go. Like @privatecoin says, I guess it's a greaser.

Yes, please weigh the cent............you're looking for 3.11 grams.
And it looks like Progressive Indirect Design Transfer?? Or it may just be the lighting.

As a kid, the 55-S was the very first coin a bought. I must have been 9 or 10. For the life of me I couldn't find a 55-S to complete that Whitman 40 - to date folder. IT WAS THE LAST COIN I NEEDED!! It drove me nuts for months! I finally got on my bike and rode down to, I think it was JC Penny or Woolworths. I think I paid 40 or 50¢ for it. I was so excited to complete that folder. I got home and showed my dad. He said: YOU PAID HOW MUCH FOR THAT PENNY?!?!? 🤣 😂

It's a real bad example of a Cent that was supposed to be the last San Francisco Cent.
Inattention, indifference and uncaring quality due to the end of Cent production.
I kinda wonder how many employees got laid off or let go due to ending the production of circulating coins.

Such a great and typical "dad comment". Every time we walked out of a room and left the lights on, dad would find us and ask "You think Edison is your uncle?"

I was also apparently raised in a barn. Something about leaving the doors open!! 🤣 😂

The cent also has the "Lincoln Ghost" effect.
