rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 03/10/2026 2:41 pm That is Cohen BA-250, plus or minus. It is listed on Cuds on Coins as LDB4-1955-003 4BL+. Interestingly, there is only one known "full" BIE listed for 1955P. Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
