[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1458834, member: 30400"]If it were mine and I felt good about the color I'd resubmit it. If it came back questionable color again I'd take it to a show and get an opinion from a Lincoln expert like Angel Dees (Andy Skrabalak). Coins failing to grade often make it through cleanly after additional attempts. But I'd like reassurance from an expert that it had a reasonable shot. (At many shows you can submit directly to PCGS and save the shipping & insurance fees one way, as well as the mail delay.) I would NOT hawk it on ebay after a single grading attempt. The difference in value between a body-bagged '55 DDO and a cleanly graded red MS one is big. Other options are to consign it to a copper specialist, or sell it on Heritage. It is a very special coin and how/where it is sold should be considered carefully. Lance.[/QUOTE]
