The 1955 Lincoln Wheat Cent was struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a recorded mintage of 330,958,200 coins — the 122nd-lowest of the 140 circulation-strike issues in the lincoln wheat cent series, and 35% of the 938,825,700 lincoln wheat cents the Mint produced across all facilities in 1955.
Somewhere inside this figure live the doubled die cents, struck from one misaligned die and released by the thousands; references also split on the total itself, with some recording 330,580,000.
