Rewound to 2018
I was offered a glowing 1955/55 DDO AU58RD for $1,675 and did not pull the trigger.

Thought it was a lot of pennies 4yrs ago 🤔 and it’s been one of my coin regrets ever since.
They are very elusive now especially for my ideals at >3K

Fast forward to 2022
I decided to avoid the same predicament …… of course unparalleled in a sense of rarity/value but I could just see the similar “would’ve could’ve should’ve”

❤️ so Here it is my poor girl DDO

~ Prominent DOUBLING
~ Blasting RED 🥰
~ Spot Free
~ CAC green beaned
~ Classic Old Fatty slab
~ Perfect price tag for the eye appeal’s

    @Paradisefound ... Very nice DDO cent.... I will guess 65, but the pictures are a tad dark, so could be a 66.... Either way, looks great. Cheers, RickO

    Looks very clean, but I'm guessing NGC MS65RD.

    With better pics, it could well be 66-67...but then you are talking $$$.

    Congrats on the new purchase!

    MS65 CAC Green NGC 3.0 is my guess and congrats on the great coin!

    Mine is in a newer PCGS holder at MS66RD CAC. As best I can tell they look identical. Since yours is in a older holder I don't think it could be higher than 66RD. Also, there is a really big value jump from 66 to 67 and I don't think most folks would want to do that. Because of the holder I will say 65RD, otherwise I would have said 66RD.

    I would guess MS65RD based on the obverse pic. The reverse pic is clearer and I could see it going MS66RD. Overall I'm staying with MS65RD as my guess. Either way it is a looking cent in a nice old stable holder. Congrats on picking up a nice looking DDO!

    65RD*. My 72 DDO is PCGS OGH MS-64 RD.

    This DDO is usually seen with a lot of bag marks, and the reverse does not come blazing red like a lot of other "blazers".

    Hence mine got the 64, but yours looks real good PF. It's pretty much mark free obversewise. That in itself is a real plus.

    Seems like the 72DDO, even with substantial doubling, has always been in the shadows of "the big guy" 55.

    Congrats on an excellent coin. I will guess 65RB. It may be Red and the pictures could just be dark giving the coin the Red-Brown appearance. Either way it is a great looking piece.

    I'm glad you got one. A nice one, at that. The DDOs are a favorite. Reading your initial post reminded me of a thread I read earlier today, regarding the question : " should I buy this" ? I didn't answer yes or no.
    My answer was "don't should on yourself".
