Okay, here is a fun one for everyone to check out. Please forgive the in-slab pictures as they are the best I can do.
First, this is a 1955 P NGC MS 66 RD slabbed Lincoln. There is no mention of a variety on the slab. I figure if the previous owner had known about this coin being a variety they probably would have had it slabbed accordingly. Or... perhaps this coin is/was not yet listed.
I have checked on coppercoins.com, and other sites to see if I can positively identify the ddr and came up with only 1955P-1DO-001 Class 6 doubled die reverse. The listing also states this is coupled with the 1955P-1DO-004 Class 6 doubled die obverse. I am hoping that is true for my new coin.
Question, if it is or is not the correct attribution, is there anyone who could attribute the coin while it is still in the holder? If it can be attributed would it increase the value?
The price I paid for the coin is considerably less than the 59.00 to 70.00 dollars being asked on ebay. I cannot find any example on the PCGS Collectors Corner to compare going prices at this time.
Thank you ever so much for checking this post.
