trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 04/26/2023 4:48 pm While sorting through the massive lot of rolls I bought a couple months ago I ran across one labeled "1955 S Freaks". I pulled the top few coins out of the roll to check them out. As far as I can tell there are die chips on the 9, 5, & S causing them to look filled. Hoping someone can tell me if that's correct and if there's any value to these. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34448 Posts	Posted 04/26/2023 4:52 pm Looks to me like an accurate description of three die chips between the date and mintmark. Not sure how much of a premium there is though.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 04/26/2023 5:49 pm As Dearborn said. There were a lot of them in the 50s. I kept them years ago, until I found out they were common. Sounds like whoever put up the rolls did too. Keep them if you like, just not much of a premium on them. Report this Post to the Staff
