lucidfind Valued Member United States 203 Posts	Posted 02/06/2025 3:04 pm I was mistaken about the grade. The one I originally posted about is, in fact, XF45, but I was pleasantly surprised that the other one did go up a grade. That one was $450 37 years ago, I found an image I saved of the original flip it was purchased in. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15433 Posts	Posted 02/06/2025 3:35 pm Outstanding key date variety. And now you have two of them! IMO the King of Lincoln Wheat cent varieties.

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3649 Posts	Posted 02/08/2025 7:30 pm Very nice pair of '55 DDO's. This coin is what got me interested in major die varieties many decades ago, though I didn't actually start adding examples to my collection until 8 or 10 years ago.

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 02/09/2025 02:46 am That is awesome having two of them! One thing didn't make sense about the cigarette packs story. Cigarette packs were still sealed in cello back then Right? How would the mint put Two Cents change into each pack? Sounds more like urban legend to me. No matter, that is a great score!!!
