1955 Cent DDO-001 I Can't Tell If It's Authentic.

Right on! If I was to buy a 55' DDO-001 it would have to be graded or some very nice raw example from a trusted source.
I have gone through my entire collection (my dad's before me) of 1950's LMC's and I didn't find any worthwhile 55' errors just some rpm's.
..and perhaps some higher grade Uncirculated examples.
But yeah, I think the "cleaned" look was throwing me off, making this coin look fake. Thanks for the feedback and links.

I know it's rather sickening ain't it.

Adding a pic here of the obv to preserve it for education and access after the sale ends:

Looks real to me.

@DBM - that one looks very fake - the liberty is rotating clockwise, while the rest is rotating CCW.

I do agree with that Dearborn. I want to add a '55 DDO-001 to my collection.
Likely will continue to search Heritage Auctions for a decent example.

TACC, I hear ya, I want one too, that and the 09 s vdb

yup, I did - and when the new 'owner' goes to sell this later on, boy will he be surprised...
