Owner Comments:

The 1955 DDO is one of the if not the most famous error coins, it is ranked #74 in the 4th edition of the “100 Greatest US Coins”. This AU58 BN example has a wonderful original deep chocolate color to go along with great surfaces and a nice amount of luster. The reverse really looks MS to me but it appears there might be the slightest rub on Abe’s cheek, though that would be debatable in my opinion.
