MS-65 [not full steps...they seem to be worn]...the luster looks strong, but I see a few bigger hits/gouges (like on the reverse between "five" and "cents" and to the left of the "o" in "OF AMERICA...")

 

Though an odd looking mark, def, on the coin.
It has the look of being mint.

 

These might be fairly minor in hand, but it is what stuck out when deciding a grade:

 

You missed one, the Mark under the U.
For sure, the ones above the Monticello are the only ones that are bag marks, but the others are definitely still worthy in considering the grade.

 

The quality of coins produced in 1955 was atrocious. This is one of the best I have ever seen. I'm going to say MS66, simply because it is better than my MS66.

 

ms-65. That looks like a weak strike!

 

I'm in the 65 camp too, no FS either ....

 

66

 

My vote is MS65

 

MS65

 

I've seen worse in MS66 holders.

 

I just love these old Anacs Slabs!

 

I think it's under graded, myself .............

 

MS64 no full steps, the luster looks nice but the strike is weak.

 

No, that is actually a strong strike for that year. Crack that puppy and send it to NGC. If the luster is all there, which it looks like it is from the first set of photos, it goes MS65 all day, with a good chance at MS66. Like I said, it is better than my MS66.

 

Do we know what the population is, on a 1955- D/S MS 64+?
This is a special coin.

 

I have several at MS66, they are common and have a stronger strike. Look at the detail in the hair and the lack of steps.

 

It is definitely a later die state in hand. I have been trying to get pics of the D/S. It's a hard one to capture.
