1955-S

Nice..

Not really on-topic, but what's up with the sheer amount of 1955-S cents around this subforum lately?
I think that's about the fourth or fifth 1955-S I've seen here in the last few days!

I mean, it's not like this is a particularly common date, and I don't think it's particularly valuable either.


(I don't even frequent this subforum, normally; I just keep seeing "1955-S cent" in the recent threads, and I happen to like this date - exactly due to it being uncommon but not yet particularly valuable - so try to check them out.
However, looking at the thread list on the subforum page, there had been surprisingly many of these lately.)

I never said it was a problem, I was just surprised. Nice to see these 1955-S cents too!

I must've been very lucky then - my first Wheat cent was an 1955-S, I think. (One of the first, anyway.) It's really the main reason I like the date so much.
Got it in a bag of assorted foreign coins from my non-collecting American relatives, via slightly closer but also not collecting Israeli relatives (the bag contained Israeli coins, American coins, and a few coins from other places; the 1955-S cent was the oldest). I highly suspect that they somehow managed to find it in circulation, but the chain of communication was complicated enough that I couldn't possibly know if they did anyway.

I honestly had no clue it was a semi key.. I just know high grade beings mula

Hard to tell from given picture, but looks to be around 63RD which is typical for Littleton.
