1955 penny, heads only

I think I have a little of the poison in my blood right now.
I am sure that if this coin had turned out to be a rarity, I would have been fully infected...
I am not "gone" yet. I'll keep looking around.
Thanks again! You have been the best!

Bob

Hi new to this forum. Don’t give up on your possible rare mint error theory just yet. I am a collector and bought some Wheaties a few years back on eBay and guess what I found in one of the lots? A 1955 Lincoln with a perfectly smooth reverse. The obverse is undamaged and would likely grade fairly high considering its age. I’ve never posted here so I will try to upload a couple pix if I can.

Welcome to the forum

Just so you know, this is a 14 year old thread and that poster has not been seen in 14 years. You likely came here through a Google search, so all good.

If you are going to post pics of your coin, your best bet would be to start your own thread so it gets views. People will likely not go to the end of an old thread to find the new posts.

 

Bob, if the reverse doesn't have a raised rim, it has been sanded or ground off. If it does have a raised rim but appears blank it would be interesting to see. But the coin is normally struck on both sides at the same time, and if the reverse die was missing, the obverse would not be struck with details. It would be like trying to clap with only one hand.
