tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/24/2020 12:45 am Only recently, finally, bought a 1955 die 1 for my collection. Hadn't really planned on upgrading it as while it is RAW, I figure it is AU and that's good enough to cover that die. Then today on my coin run a dealer made me an offer I could not refuse and I bought this one. I'd say it'll be the top one in that slot pretty much for good now. It's POP 9/13. The obverse fields show intense luster, and are essentially mark free. Lincoln has a couple minor nicks and one decent-sized cut on his beard. There are a few minor nicks on the reverse but it has a bit of light spotting (hard to see in my photo). Absolutely stunning in-hand. A few light scratches on the holder, mostly on the reverse, but nothing that detracts too much. 1955 Lincoln Wheat cent doubled die - DDO-001, FS-101 PCGS MS64+ BN Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/24/2020 12:54 am Thanks, and it really does look phenomenal in hand. Hard to believe it only scored MS 64 but guessing they knocked it a grade for the beard ding. I've seen many MS-65 coins with more problems than this coin has. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/24/2020 01:46 am Thanks! PM sent to Jimbucks, but I don't plan on keeping the other one. It'll be sold in a private sale one way or the other as no need to let ebay and paypal suck up money that could be used to lower the cost to the buyer. The general plan was to slab it, as there is a non-zero chance it would go low MS grade, but for now it's still here. http://goccf.com/t/383632&SearchTerms=1955 Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 12/24/2020 07:07 am I've gotten to hold a few of this die, red ones included , and it's always a thrill. But for me , a natural skin brown copper with hints of red and flashes of color reflecting back at me is a thing of beauty. This little gem has it all, the thrill of the die and gleaming looks. Big Congrats TB! Report this Post to the Staff
