dunkleosteus430 Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 6:07 pm I am personally not an expert on 1955 DDO cents, but I'm guessing you should always be wary of fakes, as there are many. This example on ebay is unauthenticated, and although it doesn't look particularly fake to me, I was just wondering what y'alls opinions would be. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1341437638...s&media=COPY Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19221 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 6:23 pm Questionable. Really need to see a full, large image of the reverse. Bogus '55 DDOs can have 'horrible' reverses. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 6:41 pm Look at the jacket? Never noticed that area was affected before: but this is a fake one. Also note his feedback. Edited by coop 06/10/2022 6:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 8:07 pm Wouldn't trust this slab in any way. You have this coveted coin and you don't have it properly graded? Walk away. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97793 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 8:16 pm I would but it just to get it off the streets. At least I would know it was fake. I would hate to think that someone would but it thinking it was real Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

SaturnD51 Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 8:29 pm It looks pretty like a good DDO 55. Only problem is you are going to pay big money to bid on the coin and then send it out to be graded. I don't think so. Everyone is right. It you want to bid on a great coin, let's make sure it is certified first. I would sleep better at night. Unless you like gambling,lol. Report this Post to the Staff
dunkleosteus430 Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 8:34 pm Thanks, not that I was even considering bidding on it. I was just trying to learn something. Coop, when you mentioned the jacket, did you mean that it was doubled? And LevelsOfMadness, what was wrong with the letters? I compared this picture with a TrueView of a genuine one, and couldn't see anything really off about those particular letters. Could you, um, what's the word... Sorry... I'm typing what I'm thinking... Oh yeah, could you elaborate on that? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
