Just wondering if this is a good deal or not. I may need to use the "Honey Pleeease" eyes!

Hmm...I guess it all depends if you want it for that price

I like to compare coins for sale against Heritage auction prices for a general idea.
There I see a MS61BN slabbed by PCGS that sold for $2530 earlier this year.
Of course, some dealers question Anacs grading against PCGS, and they typically don't sell as high. That's just what I've seen...

Hmm...I overlooked that lamination comment; I'd skip too.

I don't like the tiny images, especially the reverse.

I don't like that the coin looks really nice for an MS61...what's wrong with the reverse?

I don't like the term "lamination" used in the description of the coin. If it has a lamination, it's a problem coin and I wouldn't want it.

Three strikes - I'll pass.

71, Chuck is dead on right. Keep looking. I have been looking for one over the last yr and have not found the right coin yet. I expect to spend that type of money or more and I expect the coin to be appealing to me. The last thing I want is a coin to cost $2500 and not enjoy it when I look at it. Don't rush this type of purchase. I would also suggest that you look hard at Heritage to buy this type of coin.

The first thing to do is a search on ebay for every 1955 DDO cent to see if you find this picture. Too many scams on Craigslist.

Thanks,
Bill

Im in general agreement with everyone. Moreover, I dont like the picture of the obverse. It looks doctored.
