1954 & 55 (no error that I can see) D Lincoln Wheat

[BLive1972]

I see that some of these can have some value, but I'm not sure. I've just been looking around on eBay so there are a lot of ranges. I found this in a change jar that I've had for years. Mostly all junk, but this and a 1955 D in similar condition. Both have great luster, but my camera doesn't quite capture that. I see there are some small scratches, but after checking similar PCGS and NGC rated wheats, I don't see this one as being too much worse. Opinions? Even if it doesn't grade too high, it should still be worth more then a cent Thanks!

 

A few I've looked at to compare. Still, my pics are tough to compare with

You might retail these for about a buck each. They're really common and not in high enough grade to command a premium. The first may grade 65 the second 64. Wheats from the 50's are really only scarce starting in 67 for the most part.

Ok, thanks!! I'm just learning, so I appreciate it. Is it that these people on eBay are charging way too much?
