If it was in VF condition red book only says the 1955S Cent is worth .20 cents. So you got ripped off. No one should pay have to pay $5 for a wheatie in G-4 condition. Its insane. My redbook is the 2008 version. I know thye released the 2009 version but I am pretty sure it is the same prices in the same book. Except for Silver which probably has gone up within the last year.

I don't know if I would pay $5 for one that was mint red and in perfect condition.

Hi Marshall, If You think You would like to Buy coins, You have to have a Red Book, or buy from a coin shop You know well. My coin shop had a bid wall. Alot of fun.

Marshal, unless the cent was slabbed by a reputable co. at MS-64 or higher, you probably overpaid. But, this is how you learn how to buy, by making little mistakes. It's no big deal. Take the other guys advice and get yourself a current "Red book" and study it, then study it more, then go out and start buying. Good luck to ya, Gpurs...

I just bought 2 unc 55-s's at a coin shop. One for .50 and one for .95. I think $5.00 in way high unless it's slabbed.
