    an interesting tidbit:
    I bought a 1955 DDO cent in a ANACS holder graded MS-60 in 2004 and years later crossed it to PCGS. I was actually thrilled when PCGS was super tough on crossing it at AU-58 four years ago because I then knew I had a shot on getting a CAC gold sticker on the new slab. I was right.
    JA loved it.

    I would love to see a picture of that coin, because I sold you a 55DDO that matches that description.

    That is a painful story that already occurred to me when I saw this AU58 that apparently passed through a few hands before being recognized and preserved.

    Rest assured, your 55s are still out there and no doubt are making some collectors very happy.

    When those coins were released back into circulation, three people got a thrill they never forgot!

    That's one coin I've never owned or had in the shop. Strange.

    How about the paper boy that scratched the 43 Copper cent to see if it was plated or was that a hoax?

    The 1955 DD is one of those coins that captures the imagination of young collectors and that interest usually carries forward as they get older.

    I always wanted a 55/55 and maybe will get one some day.

    Maybe I'll wait to see if coin collecting collapses the way stamp collecting did, and then I can get one at face value. :p

    That is a really nice coin. I've not strayed much from SLQs, but have now recently started to think I should branch out and collect some keys, this being one I would certainly consider.

    My mom used one to pay the water bill. She even commented on how the "guy must have been drunk" hat made it as she's handing it to the teller... who, I'm sure said nothing as he took it and replaced it with a different cent into the till.
