Oh man I have spent several of those over the years. I could have been a millionaire.
At the time the 1955-S cents were horded because San Fransisco was to stop coining cents after 1955. This along with a low (by 1950's standards)...
Nice coin with good fields. I'd agree with the vf-20. I'm assumeing that the reverse is in similar condition. Great find.

Well it depends on your definition of error. The small dot would be from a corresponding chip or gouge in the striking die, These were common in...
"I have the rest of the dollars which this puppy was rolled up with. This is no joke." Just his description marks him as shady. Look at the...
I say 65, but a very solid one. Wouldn't surprise me if it was able to bump up to a 66.
