I bought an OBW roll, cracked it and found 3 of these with lime green toning. This is my favorite of the bunch.

 

The nicest wheatie I've ever plucked from circulation.

 

Anyone have a 55 ddo

 

Very unusual color and surfaces on these two ...

 

Do we need a timeout?

Today is for 1954. Tomorrow is 1955.

We got a little screwed up Monday evening when some folks jumped the gun. Monday was 1950 but 1951 Lincolns were posted that evening.

Of course "103 Days of Lincoln Cents" would only take us to 2011. So maybe it makes sense to squeeze 104 dates into 103 posting days?

OK, it's after midnight on 9/15 on the East Coast, officially time for 1955

Here are a couple 55-D BIEs and a cool 55-S RPM#1

 

Here's a 55-S RPM

 

Here's an interesting roll-end toner:

 

On the reverse is the weakness in the AM in AMERICA and the O in ONE normal for this date and mm? Or has this coin been struck through grease, or something else?

Very nice coin BTW, awesome colors.

 

Weakness of the O may be more common than not. It is opposite Abe's shoulder and there is just so much flowing the metal can do. The AM is less common, but far from rare. It is the same situation, but with Abe's head this time.

 

WOW!!! That's a stunning coin....and stunning pictures! NICE!
