Varieties for 1955

This appears to be the common coin for this year. It uses the standard G reverse die where the P in PENNY points to a gap between the larger denticles and the normal 8 Obverse die where the I in GRATIA and ELIZABETH  both point to a denticle. There is a dot after the Y in PENNY.

This is the close 5's date variety which uses the same type G reverse die where the P in PENNY points to a gap between the larger denticles and the normal 8 Obverse die where the I in GRATIA and ELIZABETH both point to a denticle but the 5's in the date are closer maybe due to the way the working die was stamped with the last digit? There is still a dot after the Y.

This is the obverse 8 die which has the I in GRATIA and ELIZABETH  (not shown)  point to a denticle. The A in GRATIA also does the same for this die.

This is another close 5's date variety which uses the type H reverse die where the P in PENNY points to a larger denticle and the normal 8 Obverse die where the I in GRATIA and ELIZABETH both point to a denticle but the 5's in the date are closer together. There is no dot after the Y.

This image is not that clear but the I in ELIZABETH points to a gap between the denticles as does the A and I in GRATIA. This is the type 9 obverse which was reworked and supposed to be used for the 1956 coins. It has the wider 5's, the P in PENNY at a gap and a dot after the Y in Penny (reverse G).  Is this a mule is the question or did the mint purposely use this die pairing to run some test coi
