There is a bubble in the 9 in 1955. Is that anything?

Hummm I'd be more concerned with the reverse. It looks like the rim is missing.
The reverse has either a Misaligned die issue, wierd off center or some sort of defective planchet issue.

The obverse looks fine, minus the die chip in the "9". Since the condition of the coin, and year of the coin are both good, the die chip may add a few extra dollars at most.
Coop as well as others can give you a more accurate idea of the reverse, including a very rough ballpark figure in respect to the reverse of the coin.

Not a bubble but a die chip. I don't think there would be a premium unless you found a buyer and even then it would be minimal.

One other note - Is that "S" mint mark touching the 5? This monitor isn't the best, so I thought I would ask....

It's an INB slab so it's all messed up and this is the best one. The others slabs I posted looked like they didn't even bother to clean the inside before they sealed it.

This cent is in the middle of a white foam cut-out that is wrapping around the edges of the rim on the reverse. That's why it looks strange.

Nope. A little bit of space between the S and the 5.

I think it pushes 64 save for the hit on his forehead. Looks like a good bit of luster!

die chips and cracks are not rare in the 50's series wheat cents.there is also chips in the word liberty that is called bie's and many other varieties.the frosty look on your lincoln is nice looking probably caused by deterioration.
