I think this is die #1. The only marker that I can see is the die scratch on his head.

I think so.
Can you get a pic showing the lapel?
It shows well there on this die.

That's the one!
Pretty easy to see on the lapel.
I had some old coin magazines and back when it was newly dicovered they were selling them for $189, after that they dropped but you still don't see many of them.
Nice little D mint cousin of the big 55

Garry,
The lapel on this variety shows very nice doubling. That's what you are seeing in the pic OCD posted. BTW Garry...I sent you a private message about this thread. Please take a look.

It's an interesting die.
It's a class 4. The stronger (probably second) hubbing is shifted east relative to the center but not rotated.
This one is also a class 8 tilted hub so I'm GUESSING that the reason it does not show on LIBERTY or the motto is the tilt made it show best on the north/east area of the die. ?
Since class 8 is only tilted you might not see anything on a class 8 unless the next hubbing also has a problem (different class of doubling like this one also had class 4) because if the second hubbing is correct it should totaly hide the first partial tilted hubbing. ?
Any inputs? Sound right?

This doubled die is a very nice one, but is somewhat common. I usually don't fail to find one out of every 100 coins (two circ rolls) of 1955D cents.
Two other even more common yet nice die varieties for 1955D are 1955D-1MM-002 and 1955D-1MM-004. These are quite common yet still make a nice addition to a collection.
