OK so is this what a poor mans double looks like? I am sure you guys are so very tired of looking at my pictures and saying 'Umm, machine doubling". I have decided to put together a set of Just maching doubles, just for fun.
Now there is also a form of doubling to the IGWT, but I could not get a good picture of it, look at the I and the G in IGWT. Similar to the I in Liberty, in this not so good picture. Tons of die cracks on Lincolns head and jacket.

Yes, that is a "poor man's double" cent - but these are caused by die wear. They are not true hub doubled dies, and in 1955 they are quite common...probably to the tune of one out of every 25-50 coins on average. But yes, that is what you found there.

As the die is in VLDS (Very Late Die State) they wear is shown more in the outer devises of the coins made. Ex-heavy die flow/die wear is apparent on the devices near the rim or facing the rim. Thus the wear makes edges and field to become one with a snowdrift affect. They loose a lot of detail as they approach this die state. They are called poorman's doubled dies because if you bought a lot of these for a high price; in the end you would be the poor man with normal cents in a worn out die state.

I have several 1955 DDO 3's from EDS to LDS. The LDS ones show show the same die wear and hence another form of Poorman's DDO but this time with a genuine DOO, alas a light class 6. The real kicker is what happened on eBay a couple of weeks ago with an ANACS graded MS65 RD 1955 DDO 3. That coin sold for the unreal price of over $300.00! I tried to cash in on the action using one of my DDO 3's and got only $10.00 selling on the same day. It just goes to show what a slab can do for a common coin and inexperieced bidders who may not have know everything about the coin. They all had a rating of less than 10 transactions and there were three bidders going for the coin. I did sell a Poorman's DDO on eBay last year for over $50.00 so it wass not a fluke.
