Here's Todd's photo of my new 1955/55 DDO from FUN!

[The Penny Lady]

I have received a few pm's from forum members wanting to pry this beauty out of my hands, but let me just say, I absolutely LOVE this coin! I'm sure all you collectors understand how a special coin can tug at your heart and make you feel giddy to have such a piece in your own collection - and that is what this coin does for me. The 1955/55 is my favorite Lincoln cent, and I am so fortunate to have found this little guy that fits so perfectly into my set!

I hope that I don't regret saying this, but...

Charmy, that's a gorgeous coin!

[mumu]

Is there a difference, grade?, between this one and the one in your signature? That has the same general "look" color and toning wise. Is there something to the 1955/55 that i dont know about? Is that different from a normal 55 DDO?

[Keigwin]

Spectacular! Great find, Charmy. Nice color, strike, surfaces. It's all there.

Very nice!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!

[BROADSTRUCK]

Hmm... Did you bump his copy stand while he was shooting this as all the letters and numbers are all doubled

 

Seriously that's a very handsome 55DDO Lincoln...

 

I especially like the level of remaining mint red for a BN TPG designation as along with the patina it really makes this one pop!

 

P.S.

 

The Penny Lady, The next time your at a show having breakfast/lunch/dinner with member Elbesaar in your group -

 

Have him tell you the story how as a kid he and his friends got these out of a cigarette vending machine on packs of Lucky Strikes...

 

Then threw the pennies away as they were all messed up!

Love that coin! I bet it's even better in hand

[BLive1972]

That's an awesome purchase!!! Congrats!!

[mkman123]

nice! But in the show report you showed one that had blue toning, is it this one or a different one?

Same coin - amateur with iPhone vs. professional photographer with professional camera!

Very nice Charmy.

[RWB]

Nice coin but too bad about the blurry obverse - makes it look like the date and other things are doubled....

[FishyOne]

Excellent! Anyone would be proud to own that beauty!

 

[johnny9434]

yes, that is a wonderful ddo indeed. nice pick up

[Walkerfan]

It's wonderful!! Such a dramatic error (double date) coin. It's FUN to admire.

[Dwaine]

Lovely coin and anyone would be proud to own that in their collection.

Don't hesitate to submit it to John Albanese, bet it comes back with a green if not a gold.

[JJSingleton]

What a lovely 55 DDO. And a great pic too.

 

I had Todd image about 4 dozen coins at the show. I hope they come out as well as yours.

[Coindude]

That is one of the nicest, if not the nicest 55 DDO's I've ever seen.

Great coin Charmy, I can see why you love it!!
