think thats the angle...there doesn't appear to be any scratches.. but even if there were.. wouldnt detract to much would it?
Scratches would prevent it from grading. You should get it slabbed to lock in the value if you plan on selling it. |

just spoke with my coin dealer and said he can send my coin in to PCGS for $25... not bad considering if it comes back MS-63

would anyone know if a coin like this would appreciate in value over time like other rare key date coins?

This coin is high-end AU. AU58.
As for value - no clue.

Chuck...I agree! However, the TPG's routinely grade AU Memorial cents as MS. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

sd, I dont know if it'll appreciate. I would think the more found, the less valuable.
I dont know if anyone knows how many were minted. If no one knows, then reaching critical mass of appreciation:depreciation is anyone's guess.
Makes me wonder (and ask) if all the 1955 DDs have been found.

thats an interesting theory, makes you wonder about all coins...especially the error coins, how many are still in circulation. so my next question would be, how do they determine the value of error coins, i.e. the 55 DDO. why so much$$? are there only 5 in existence?> |

here is an interesting link about the 1955 doubled die Quote:how do they determine the value of error coins, i.e. the 55 DDO. why so much$$? Supply and demand. My uncle told me that my granddad bought the 42/1 merc dime that I have and "he thought he bought a 55 doubled die but I dont know where it is and I have the collection" and the guy wanted 80 a piece for them. This was in the 60's. My uncle said he can remember thinking he was crazy paying that much for a dime or penny. but the 55 doubled die is considered the king of doubled dies to a lot of people. although the 69s doubled die is a lot more valuable

thanks, davis. I suppose I could research the (guess)timated population of WAMs.

j h s, I pulled a 1972P DDO die #1 from a bank roll a few months back, so anything is possible. Who knows what is in Granny's dress drawer or dad's coin can in the workshop. They are being dumped daily and some of these hoards are decades old. This may be the best chance in our lifetime to find these types of treasures in change. That is why I am hitting the bank rolls so hard. Jim |
