    I Picked 2 Of These 1955s/s/s Cents Out Of A Roll Several Years Ago. I Did Not Know The True Value Until The Cherry Pickers Guide Came Out. I Think They Show $65 For Ms65.

    OCOPR48,

    If this is the coin I'm thinking of it's the Coneca 1955 RPM #001. The best way to tell is a closer picture of the Mint Mark.

    If it's the Coneca listing it is a great find. I do beleive it is. The picture is at a angle. I would value your coin at 75.00 if it's the 001. Great Find!!!!!! Great Eye's!!!!!

    I'd say , yeah thats it. I just ran it by my " Coneca Top 100 Lincoln rpm &omm" cdrom...they look identical. Great find !!!

    So you bought the CD:thumb::thumb:

    One must be careful observing with the naked eye. Usually I do a overlay to determine if the MM is in the correct position. This coin was at a angle that was hard to determine. I also beleive it is due to the top S being at a 5 degree angle from the bottom of the 5.

    Rhubarb, it was a great buy, I use it constantly on the bay cherrypicking if at all possible to blow up mintmark shots..........

    Just sent this and one other 1955 s/s/s to NGC for grading. I'll everyone know what the grade is later.

    Nice coin. Nice find. I'd would be nice if NGC gave it a high grade, but just having the coin is enough.

    I'm not much into varieties but when it's dramatic enough to see with the naked eye like yours is, I can really appreciate them.

    Here's one of the few varieties that I own. I really like this coin.
