At an auction a decade or so ago I bought a collection cheap with about 30 of those guys, kinda fun I guess but I prefer my real '55 doubled die a tad bit more. One of my uncles once got a '55 DDO as a kid in Northern NY (where many first got out into circulation) and he spent it on a gumball. Years later he realized what it was and has kicked himself ever since. One heckuvan expensive gumball, lol. [

Also worth looking for are the counterfeit "Henning" nickels:

Haven't found any yet but they have solid collector value and I highly doubt that even the few people who do hunt nickel rolls are all pulling them out for what they are (though they do tend to set aside all the older ones). My dad also found a 1939 DD reverse Jefferson while searching nickels a while back. It is a cool error coin.
