PennyPicker New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 11/27/2016 6:50 pm Hello Everyone, I was looking through my pennies and found this 1955 Wheat penny. I saw lines above liberty, separate line above the date and through the neck area and another possibly through the hairline area? Is there any significance and value to this coin or is it just a damaged penny? Thought it might be lamination breaks? Thanks for all the help! Report this Post to the Staff

RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 11/27/2016 8:14 pm Definitely not worth getting it professionally graded. As you said, its probably a $2 coin. If you're lucky, I could imagine it selling for $5. Still nice. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 11/27/2016 8:15 pm No not worth grading, maybe worth $1.00. 2X2 worthy. Lams are fun to find and collect. I've been trying to put a set of Lincolns together from circ and roll hunting for about 40 years. Report this Post to the Staff
