The 1955 Philadelphia Lincoln cent is common in all grades through MS66 and scarce in levels of MS67 or higher. Strike is generally strong and color rich, so buyers should have little trouble in finding premium-quality specimens.
Obverse Description
Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date and mintmark (If any) positioned on the right side.
Reverse Description
Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter.
