dmh2252 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 04:00 am I just bough this one. It's a 1955 s Wheat penny with one filled 5. It's in great condition. Does anyone know anything about it? What's it worth guys? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 07:19 am It's worth about $5 according to Numismedia.The filled 5 is a die chip and does not add any value. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 10:56 am Except that it happens to be a mid stage example of 1955S-1MM-002, a repunched mintmark. Still not worth very much because they are somewhat common - but it is a die variety, and not because of the die chip. John was correct about the die chip - they add no value to the coins.

chugly Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 11:49 am I can't tell you how many times that I have bought a coin looking for one thing, only to bring it home and discover something completely new. Just last weekend I bought a bunch of random british large pennies for .10c each plus one half pence at the same price just to show the size differences to my kids. While the large pennies were all worn and common, the half pence turned out to be a nice incomplete planchet error! Nice pickup, Dmh222! Given the condition, that coin has now got to be worth at least $5.00 IMHO. You should be able to make out the split serf's (doubling) on the top right of the S mint mark which is an indicator of the repunched mintmark (RPM). And I think Coppercoins meant to call it a late die state example of 1955S-1MM-002. Good work! Chugly Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 12:08 pm No, I meant what I meant. It's a mid stage example in late die state. They are unrelated to one another. Report this Post to the Staff
