No, most 1955 cents are not that valuable. There were only a few that were double-struck*. You can see a nice picture of one by using the link provided. (*) As you have noted from other postings, coins are said to be minted or struck, not "stamped". I don't know why, it's just what's done.
Double struck pennies like you describe are generally worth $30-$50
Yes but it depends on scarcity of the flaw-some are so rare they are almost priceless. For example the 1955 double die penny (struck twice on face)
how much is a double died 1957 penny worth
like 300 bucks
If it's a true hub double retail values are $920.00-$2,100.00 for a circulated coin.
If the coin is double-struck, it can be worth up to $30,000. So if you see double, hold onto it!
A closer examination needs to be made of this penny because San Fransisco did not mint any pennies in 1957.
All error coins need to be seen, take it to a coin dealer for an accurate assessment.
The coin is likely a common error called a "Machine Double" that has no extra value, but take it to a dealer to make sure.
A double struck 1973 penny could be worth anywhere from a couple of dollars to a few hundred dollars, depending on the severity of the double strike and the overall condition of the coin. It's recommended to have the coin evaluated by a professional coin dealer or appraiser to get an accurate valuation.
I also have one with letters from liberty across the face. Thanks

I'm not familiar with any 1922 cents that were double-struck (*). Could you provide more information? Most commonly a double strike shows two images on the same side of the coin, somewhat out of alignment with each other, or each side has the standard image and the opposite side's image intermixed.(*) FWIW, coins are said to be struck, not "stamped"
The first US "penny's" were struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1793.
1955 d what? Penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half, or dollar. sorry. It is a penny If it happened to be a double die or struck twice when it was made, it could be up to A$1,500 in good condition. If it is just a regular penny, you can buy a new uncirculated one for $20. Much use or wear and it's probably just a penny.
