If it's an ordinary 1955 cent it's worth anywhere from a nickel to 20¢ depending on condition. 1955-S pennies may be worth a few cents more but aren't considered to be particularly rare. Some coins were struck from an improperly prepared die and have a very visible double image on the front. These can be worth about $900-1000. If it clearly shows a doubled date (i.e. it looks as if the "1955" is struck twice, slightly shifted) you have a much rarer coin and should have it examined by a professional numismatist.

These coins are not rare and are easily found in circulation. They are worth 5 cents unless the have the mintmark "S".

In spite of being struck during the last year in which San Francisco was to produce circulating coins until 1968, 1955-S cents are not particularly valuable. In average condition they retail for about a nickel. Uncirculated ones are 35-50¢.
Please post new question as to where the phrase is located on the obverse of the coin.
Simple answer is: 1909-S / 1909-S V.D.B. / 1914-D / 1922 no D / 1931-S and the 1943 Bronze and 1955 Doubled-Die error coins.
the nickel is thomas Jefferson
Mainly 1909 S VDB Penny, and 1955 Double Die, also any Pennies under 1850 can be found of much value.
