Often when we see this on one side of a coin, we often think of it being a Struck Through Grease error. But note on your coin both sides are affected. But that could be a Struck Through Grease error. But if these areas are both on the same area opposite each other, the next thing to do is to get a weight of the coin. If it is under weight, then it could be a mint error called a tapered planchet. If the edge looks thinner on that area of the outside rim, then that is what you have. With the planchet tapered, the has a modest premium. But if it is a Struck Through Grease error, the weight will be normal (3.11 grams) then the value would be a lot less. But I'm thinking that is what you have is a tapered planchet error.    The weight on this one is 2.58 grams. |

For an uncertified tapered planchet, completed ebay listings suggest about a $15 value.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

I'd say get it in a holder. It's a popular date, popular series, in mint state on top of having a noticable error.
You'll get a lot more than $15 if it's certified, imho.

Does it look like a mibt state I know you may not be a grader and grading by phothos is really tough so I wont hold anyone one to what they say. Like I said tho I'm relitivly new to this and have looked at PCGS website I cant figuere out how much it is to grade a coin.

As a general rule: a coin needs a retail value of at least $150 after slabbed to justify all costs involved in having it slabbed. John1 |

1955 was a peak year for tapered planchet errors. You'd be lucky to get $10 for it on ebay. Error coin writer and researcher.

So it really wouldnt justify the cost for the slab I should just sell it raw. Put it up for 20-25 and see if I get a taker if not drop it to 15-20 and sell. I also wanna take the time to thank everyone for their input,suggestions, and information. As well as the quick responses so thank you all so much I mean that!!
