<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BostonCoins, post: 1878460, member: 34720&quot;]Thanks for the input everyone. I&#039;ve always loved that coin... Truly an icon in the world of coin collecting for me. Whenever I think of a &#039;rare&#039; or &#039;collectable&#039; coin, the 55 has always been one that enters my imagination.</p><p><br /></p><p>I too would love to own one some day (even one of the poor man&#039;s version), however, it is well out of my coin collecting budget. I don&#039;t think that my mortgage company would truly appreciate me saying to them &quot;I couldn&#039;t pay this month because I had to buy this cool 55 DDO!&quot;.... </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess when it comes to the &#039;hype&#039; of the coin... I am perhaps too young to really remember such thing going on. Yes.. it was seen in some magazine articles... Yes, it was seen in the Redbooks and such.. but I don&#039;t recall ever seeing a giant article on the coin... or even dealers advertising this coin.. .So I guess in my own mind, I wasn&#039;t sure where the hype came from![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
