1955-S/S/S Lincoln Cent

[Lifetime Noob]

I just picked this up for the HUGE sum of $4.75... Your Thoughts...

My thoughts putting the S/S/S aside... I like the coin. Might be AT based off those photos, but who cares. Cool coin.

Nice coin! Like the S/S/S.

Looks AT but I REALLY LIKE IT!

 

Cool variety and in NICE HIGH grade!

 

It APPEARS to be possibly MS 63 or 64.

 

@ 4.75, how can u go wrong??

[Lifetime Noob]

I know.... even "I" knew to grab this coin!

I spoke with the previous owner concerning the toning. He states that the coin was in a collection of about 400 RPM cents and many had similar toning.... I wonder if I should send it in to NGC for the stamp of approval?

I"ll be honest with you; I'm not sure that the coin is worth enough to warrant the certification fees. My understanding is that most of these RPMs only carry a moderate premium. I recommend that you consult an error guide to see if the 1955 S/S/S is a major/valuable variety. My guess is that the coin is probably worth less than $20. If this is the case, I wouldn't recommend slabbing, but I would sell it raw (if you are so inclined to do so).

Thank you! You confirmed my own thoughts about the expenses of grading and shipping etc...

 

I do like the coin and will probably hold on to it for a while, till it is time to pass it along to its next 'care taker' that is... (thumbs u
