I just got this 1955/55 and since I am sending in another Lincoln cent in for a crossover I am considering to include this coin. Depending on comments I will either keep it if it crosses because I want all my copper coins in PCGS holders, or sell as is.
Thank you in advance for your comments.

Do a crossover at same grade only, this way if it doesn't cross you sell it at the current grade

Good luck, I've heard that crossovers are tough

There seems to be a bit of luster left so XF45 is possible, however, I would not pay over VF35 money for an example that rough looking regardless of plastic brand.

What's the grade in the current holder?
I will provide the current grade tomorrow.
In the meantime here are a couple of new pictures which are better than than the originals (sorry).
Could be a 50, but so many ticks may down grade to 45.
A lot of these lack eye appeal; probably an AU.
It wasn't a very well made coin from the start. A lot of marks and handling dings too. The strike is slightly soft, but detailed enough to be decent.
There's not much wear on the coin, so I have to say AU-50,

Great photo's .
Can't miss that date with it's four five's in that formation.
Clean strike all around without a hickup.
Found where is my question ?
Those new pics are much better than your original. I wouldn't be surprised if NGC gave this an AU53 (and it would not cross at that grade IMHO).

Looks like an XF45 to me..... Let us know if you submit and the results. Cheers, RickO
NGC 50, PCGS 45 - that's my guess.

+1. PCGS would likely net down 5 points for the roughness
I would call it XF40, and honestly I have a hard time remembering another 55 DDO with that much wear. Hard to imagine a variety that obvious would circulate long enough to take that kind of a beating.

This post/comments is an example of why I really like this forum (wish I joined years earlier) because of the objective opinions, thank you.
I posted a few days ago a 1922 no d Lincoln cent Ngc vf25 and everyone thought it was under graded. In this case it is almost an exact opposite.
Where I live this is the first 1955/55 I have seen in the last two years and that’s a major reason, plus I think this ddo version is really cool priced under $2k, so I bought it. Ngc graded this 1955/55 au53.
As comparison I included photos of my 1955/55 PCGS au55. The reverse has scratches in the slab, ugh.
Since I am sending in my Ngc 1922 no d for crossover I think I will take a chance and send this in too with a minimum grade au53. My decision will be do I keep one and sell the other or maybe sell both and try and find an PCGS ms 1955/55. I will probably post asking for help when I get the coin back. 🤞
If anyone has any other ideas/comments please let me know. 🙂

I like the NGC coin better but graders at PCGS seem to grade tighter (stricter) than they use to, unless it’s a great rarity.

So once again I was correct and nobody agreed with me. We should start closing threads after I opine...
I didn't see your '22 thread but as a Lincoln fan, that's one of my least favorites anyway. Love the 55/55s. Good luck.

If you're shipping two in and clearly are not happy with the slab scratches on the PCGS holdered coin, why don't you send that in for a reholder and true view at the same time?
The first grade that jumped into my head when I saw the OP was 53.

Lusterlover: yes, you pegged it. I do hope you are incorrect and it does cross. Comparing it to my current 55 I think it may have a shot. I purposely did not crack it out because I want to see what happens.
Lermish: duh, that makes sense why didn’t I think of it. I mailed the coins (four in total for crossover) about four hours ago. I would have done it if I thought about it.
I plan on posting the results. 🤞

I included this in the original post.

I'd look for a really nice AU58 or an MS63. It seems that often an AU58 looks better than lower graded MS. Maybe it's just me.
