Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/01/2016 09:20 am Quote: The population of PCGS MS66 1955 RB cents is 5 with none finer. Probably because most people don't bother slabbing their RB wheats. The pop in MS66 RD is 1,138, with 68 in MS66+ RD and 40 in MS67 RD. Quote: Not because they are so rare But they are. Only a very small portion ever get that low, and only a small portion of those survive without sustaining any damage. Edited by Numisma 04/01/2016 09:20 am Report this Post to the Staff

Aaah ...... but THAT wasn't the question, the question was, a PCGS MS66 1955 cent. There are 5 that's a fact.

billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 04/01/2016 5:36 pm I don't believe in this low grade, junk coin concept that has been marketed by the PCGS registry. As a collector I have gone for worst I could afford and don't intent to do that ever. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 04/01/2016 7:27 pm The 66 by a long shot. ANY circulated or uncirculated penny can be worn down to poor condition. If the value of these "lowball" coins gets high enough, farms of people in China will literally be handing genuine coins back and forth to wear them down so they can get the "coveted" P-01 grade. Silly. You can't wear a coin up so the 66's are genuinely rare. Report this Post to the Staff

If 1,138 are in 66 RD, there are probably just as many or more in RB, but most people don't bother certifying a common date coin in that grade. Report this Post to the Staff
