SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 03/31/2015 7:15 pm I bought this about a year ago from my LCS junk silver box for $13.00. I upgraded that year for my binder later on, took this out for a look tonight. It appears to be a Proof Like or Specimen strike. Rims are pretty square and reeded edge goes to the corner of the rim. I'm not sure how much the rim dings take away from the coin but the obverse is pretty nice. Looking for any comments on grade or if you think it is PL, SP, or a business strike. Understanding that it would have a details comment for the rim dings and hairlines. Three water lines visible. Report this Post to the Staff

wireman09 Pillar of the Community Canada 972 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 12:18 am It's a business strike Don. The 1955 silver dollars are known for some great business strikes. Especially the obverse of your dollar. While other years are notorious for weak strikes like the reverses of the 1954 dollar. But for $13 dollars it's a great find for the money.

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5404 Posts	Posted 04/02/2015 7:40 pm great coin from a junk box find. 1955 dollars are usually poorly struck and lack pizazz. Even MS 63 or better coins have poor lustre and eye appeal. A GEM business strike 1955 dollar is a very rare coin. Report this Post to the Staff
