I picked up a roll of these, and kept one for my Whitman album but took pictures of the rest. The pictures arent the best, but hopefully they are clear enough to see details. #6 was taken after the rest (realized I missed it when uploading) and does a better job of capturing the luster that all the coins have.

If anyone wants to take a stab at these, either one or all or anything in between, it would be appreciated. Thanks

I do not have time to go through all of them right now but I will be revisiting this thread

I just wanted to mention that 17, 18, and 19 are Bugs Bunny "varieties" and carry a small premium over a normal 1955. They are so named due to a die clash from the eaglet across Ben's lips, giving him buck teeth. These can be found on other years as well but seem to be most widely known from 1955.

Thanks biokemist...I still never understood why they called them the Bugs Bunny variety. It looks more like dracula teeth to me.

I would go MS-61 to MS-62 on the bulk of them. There is probably a MS-63 here and there. Looks like they got lots of abrasion from being in that coin roll.

That sounds about right. I guesstimated them mostly to be 62, with a couple of 63's.

I agree with CoinHunter...I always thought they looked like pirhana teeth.
