Penny for your thoughts?

[Coinacopia]

Or lets hope. I found this while going through a house we forclosed on. Misprinted penny from 1955. It looks like it was struck twice. So I decided to get it tested. Took it to a local expert and his conclusion was it weighs 3.11 grams which checks out, it passes the eyeball test, and furthermore the metal makeup of 95% copper to other base metal ratio is perfect. Any insight?

Welcome to the forum. That is a well known doubled die in the Lincoln cent series. It's not from being struck twice. Btw, coins are struck not printed. There are fakes out there so you need to let someone with knowledge look at it.

Looks legit to me.

I don't know about your local expert, but that doesn't look right at all. I would suggest having it looked at in person by someone knowledgeable.

I agree, the head and hair doesn't look right. It needs an expert in-person inspection.
