1955 Lincoln Cent

Are these a poor mans DD or ?. How much are they worth?

Yes, some call it a "poor man's DD"....but in reality it is simply die deterioration and very common in that era. Value is what somebody is willing to pay, but knowledgeable collectors would not pay a premium for something that is easily found in the wild.

I totally agree with Maineman750. These are not true doubled dies at all, simply die deterioration as stated. That being said, I have seen some sell from $2-5 on eBay. I hate seeing that, but people can collect/sell what they like.

I have over 50 1955 Lincoln Cents, no mint mark, D and a S mint

Pretty much anything you would like to do with them....nothing wrong with selling them if they're described properly. Personally, I just throw them in with all my other wheats.

Ive had 4 listed on ebay for about a month starting at $.99 and no bids.. lol. I could probably sell them individual and highlight more of the area but like everyone is saying, its just die deterioration so I really don't care.
