I have a 1955 MS-67 RD penny here and it was graded and slabbed by the Gallery Grading Company. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it's worth. Thanks

Gallery Grading Co. is not a very respected 3 party grading company.
When I was a younger collector I had purchased several coins form GCC. While they are not as bad as other sellers/graders on Ebay, you can safely asume at least a 2 point deduction from the grade they claim. The coins I purchased werent the MS 67 or 66 that they claimed but could have been MS64 or 63 GO off what teh coin looks like, not what it is advertised as is one of the first things I learned in this Board. There is alot of expereince here. Dotn be afraid to use them before spending money. Also with GCC, I purchased my coins thru JoJaxx. He uses stock pictures, not pics of the actual coin He may deny this or not, but when i had a half of an order form two invoices not show and then they randomly got put back together in a third invoice, you gotta wonder.
As posted, deduct 2 to 3 MS points (all things being equal) and your Gallery coin is most likely a MS65 at best. So with that said, if you have a true MS65RD 1955 cent. It probably is worth around a dollar or two.
