Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 4374 Posts	Posted 03/16/2025 8:35 pm I bought this while hunting for 1955-D/S specimens. I thought it might be an OMM or an RPM due to the splits on the top serif of D. Under magnification, it's obvious that a fringe of Die Deterioration extends left from the entire back edge of the D. I am almost ready to put this one in the album or sell pile, but I wanted to ask: should I be more interested in that metal inside the D loop? Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 4374 Posts	Posted 03/17/2025 12:08 pm I'm just not convinced. I think ebay would enthusiastically greet a rare 1955-D/D/D/D/D/D/S nickel! Maybe I should get it graded? I do think I will just tuck that away with a note to re-examine the D loop when I get a proper coin scope. 97% confident that it's DDD, thanks for the help, guys. =) Report this Post to the Staff
