This find was so crazy, I thought I would share it.. My buddy had a broke down car in his driveway that didn't run anymore so he called a salvage company to come pick it up, so my mind goes in gear, I was like is it cool if I search the car for spare change, lol, he knows I'm in to that type of thing, he was like, have at it, u can have anything u want, but u better hurry they'll be here at 3pm to pickup car, I was like cool.. OK, I get the old trusty flashlight out an go to work, I grab several cents out in the open, I was like ok there might be something here, so I told myself, let's get down an dirty, long story short, under the drivers seat of this soon to be salvaged car this 1955 Lincoln Wheat cent appeared, my mouth dropped, is this a 1955 DDO, I THINK IT IS, WOW what a day we both got something out the deal, he received 100$ an got rid of a headache, I got this beautiful 1955, an now I'm here sharing it with the Community!!! Sorry about the length of my story, I had to share it the way I found it, hope u enjoy!!   |

Well it is not the big one. What attribution number do you think it is? I see no doubling. John1  |

Please look at varietyvista.com to see if this is one of the minor DDOs. It is not even close to the "big one." Worth little more than a normal Wheat cent. Sorry :( How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Fun story but all you really got was a nice circulated 1955 Wheat cent. Worth about 5¢ maybe? |

Worth about 5¢ maybe? Doubtful it is worth that much. |

Doubtful it is worth that much. True - I was just trying to be nice to the OP....keep him enthused about coin collecting instead of just shooting him down Edited by Rothery

Given the photo posted, it doesn't appear to be 'The Big One'. The Big One is easily seen by the naked eye a few feet away.

I'm wondering on the Make, Model and Year of the car.
