If he already turned down $900, I'd pause.

   I'd spend $900 going through pennies every day, and continue that process over and over again until you find a 55 DDO  But hey, someone did find a 55 DDO, it was several years back. I'm sure several more have been found since, but the probability of finding one is like 1/#8734;, but I bet there's some still circulating... Hey, just an idea...

Errr, apparently coincommunity didn't like me using the infinity symbol, so it replaced it with #8734...

Quote: Pause as in back off? Yes, unless you can work some kind of deal where if you send it out, it's one price for details, and another for problem free. If he won't sell it to you for $900 as is, then it needs to be in a slab imo.

Well, let's say "maybe" because of the potential for photography to be misleading, but I'd call it XF Details Questionable Color and maybe $1000 in PCGS Details plastic. The nicks alone are right on the verge of a Details designation. $900 doesn't leave me enough headroom to consider a purchase. That said, I'd snap this one up if the price were right. The color may be off, but it's a nice color.

When I buy my first 1955 DDO, I'm going to make sure it's certified by either PCGS or NGC. I prefer PCGS over all the grading systems. I've seen NGC off with some grades before. My LCS has some sort of certificate with NGC so that they can send customers coins off to grade in addition to their own. I've known the owners for over a decade, so I asked them about possibly doing the same with PCGS, and apparently they are considering it.

IF it has original surfaces $1500 is a good starting point. I see it as XF.
BUT if you want to be SURE everything's right ask for it to be slabbed.

Lots of replies as to condition but I'd still say it is well worth about $1,000. IF that one on ebay is the same one, then he will probably get what he is asking. Super popular coin.
