Not sure if real 1955 P DDO
My uncle got this back in 1955. He said he got it with his pack of cigarettes from a vending machine. Paid 25 cents when it cost 23 cents. There was two penny's under the plastic wrap.

At first glance I thought it was genuine but upon closer inspection I would have
to say it was counterfeit.

Pretty cool coin , If its a fake its a good fake.
Re: Not sure if real 1955 P DDO
I trust that it is real from everything I know about this coin....the counterfeit was really badly made in that it only doubled LIBERTY and the DATE and not "In God We Trust" and it's done in a very crude way and looked like it was double hubbed with everything spread out other then being very fine as the real one. The engraver that did this was very bad at it!!!

Looks like the real thing to me. Can you post a close up of the T in cent?

I'm not an expert on error coins, but it sure looks like its real to me just by looking at other pictures of a real one. The only thing I see is the color looks to be odd
