    Decades ago, I bought a roll of 56 D Lincoln cents and forgot about it. I stumbled onto it, went through them, and they were all reds with few tick marks. I was able to get a bulk grading price where only coins grading MS 66 or better would be charged grading fees.
    If it wasn't for the bulk grading arrangement, there is no way I could have made money on these coins. Might add that the TPG and the buyer of the coins made more money from the transaction than I did; I don't have a problem with that, but just letting you know how the system works.

    Sorry, but save your money and keep it raw.
    The RETAIL Price guide for 1955-S in MS66 is $27, but goes to $175 in MS67.
    With fees and postage it will cost you about $35 to submit it to PCGS

    But what is fun is saving money so when you find a great coin, you can afford to buy it.

  • Thank u for all ur input I believe this coin I saw for 130 bucks was graded a ms 67 and I don't think this one is that high it does have a couple tiny scratches. But I do have a 1909 vdb that certain in the same roll and a 1943d rpm that are also in are about in proof like state
