<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2436652, member: 24314"]1. Read my Post#26, for the obverse and the fact that <span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 0)">IF</span> this is a genuine 55/55 it is a VLDS (before they broke) as NO ONE TO MY KNOWLEDGE has <span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 0)">ever</span> <span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 0)">reported/seen</span> the die breaks on the obverse of this coin. That's why if genuine it should be worth $$$$ to a specialist. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>2. Virtually all 55/55 coins have a grove around their entire obverse circumference.
