The thing about this coin is that it's not "unobtainable." I handed one when I was a dealer, and I sure wasn't anything close to being among the industry leaders. I handled a 1794 stared reverse cent too. The coins do show up from time to time in unexpected places.

Well, I have the top bid of $32,500 (plus BP) right now but there are a bunch of watchers shown so I don't expect to win it.
Don't know if I'll up my bid or not. I'll sleep on it.

I collect all 20th century series except gold including those series that ended there.

Yep. I looked at those a couple days ago and didn't want to go over $100,000 for the one.
The second one needs a photo to show the "scratches".

Well, here it is. I don't know whether to cry or cheer!!
But I sure fell in love with it when I first saw it.

The statement above settles it. The 1955 double die is dramatic dog food.
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
I wasn't sure how high it would go for with that many members tracking it.
I felt my bid was right in line with the PCGS price guide.
Nice coin!
<< <i>....anybody have knowledge as to how many of these were minted ?? >>
There are only 2-3 dozen certified for now. They likely include resubmissions.
I usually double the certified number to reach a reasonable figure for the total.

Well, remember when the 1896, 1900, abd 1902 "mico-o" Morgan dollars were rare sought-after VAMs,
and then one day somebody realized they were all vintage counterfeits ?
The entire 1969 DDO Lincoln affair looks and smells fishy to me.

Interesting observation. As was the case in the early 70's a cloud of suspicion seems to follow this coin. I remember two points that were constantly mentioned with regards to it's manufacture (minting), a roller press and Mort Goodman.
