1955s Lucky Find

[John Martinez]

I found this in a "take a penny" dish at a store last week. I traded it for another 2005 penny I had.

The above was the Obverse - this attachment is the reverse.

I thought my "like-new" 1964 was good but you had a great find. But, you should have put atleast 2 cents back in.

Thanks. That's the first decent pictures of a coin I've taken. It took 10 shots to get these two good ones.

 

Not a 55DD, but I'll take it anyway.

Congrats on the find,it's not often you find a wheatie,much less one in that condition!Some kid must have popped it out of a set or something

Thanks Hayden. It was sitting on top of about 6-8 pennies. I did not have my glasses on, so I picked it up and still could not read the date. When I flipped it over and saw the reverse, there was no way I was going to put it back down. I told the clerk that I wanted this one and I showed him when I put the 2005 in. Needless to say, I dug out my glasses and looked through the rest of them.

 

It's origin is unknown, but anything is possible, including some kid spending a collection he grandmother left him.
