1955 LINCOLN CENTS?

bigtonydallas

I just bought a roll of 1955 Lincoln cents off of Ebay. 30 of the coins look very heavily abraided or some one took a bunch of circulated coins and polished them up. The luster looks about alright so this is why I think they have been heavily abraided and not cleaned. On the reverse the right top of the wheat stalk is plain. And about half of the left wheat stalk has detail. The legend at teh top is almost invisible. About 20+ of these coins look to be almost exactly the same. Have you all had any experience with very very heavily abraided coins? Would these have any value? Less value? Thanks.

Very common for 1955 cents, and they would have less value in my opinion because they have lost a lot of eye appeal with the loss of detail.

You sure there not filled dies?I also opened up an OBR a few years back,and found quite a few coins missing most of
the one cent, all in the same spot, with some varience.

Could be filled dies! I agree with chuck that either way they are less valuable because of lost eye appeal.
