The back shows it better I picked up too much flash on the front, but should get the general idea?

Figured while I was taking pics I'd take the 3rd one as well. Now that I see an enlarged view of this penny it does appear that the one might have been lopped off during it's travels?

Your cookie also looks like a dropped acid..
1938 is an interesting one. A closer view of the date area might reveal what happened to it. Some years a part of a hub (That forms a die) have devices that have chipped off. The 1936 had a die that the "R" left foot had chipped off. The 1956 had hub that the lower part of the 6 had chipped away. But I've not heard of this year affected that way yet. So a close up might show what happened to the die or to the coin?

awww poor cookie... These coins are having waaay more fun than I am right now;) Here is a closer look at that date on the 38 - still not sure myself and those vertical scratches I hadn't noticed at all until I pulled up the picture for the last post:( It's crazy what you can see in a photo what you can't even under a loop sometimes...  Let me know if you need a closer image and I'll see what I can do.

That does look like a chipped hub. The area looks untouched with the devices not touched. Do you mind if I add that image to my image library? I might need it another time and to share with other collectors.

Rascaisally,  Quote: Hi All, I hope I am doing this right. While I have looked through a variety of your posts over the past couple of years when searching for coin answers I have always seemed to find the answer within a topic or previous posting; never having felt the need to register or post a question. To that, I say thank you all! There are a number of reference books that you could also buy. The Red BookStrike it Rich with pocket change CherryPickers Guide

Oh boOOooOoy Coop, now I'll have to go look through all my 36's and 56's. Good thing I sorted them, but man there are a lot of them! It's going to take a while; maybe my tomorrow project:) When I sorted them last week I did so by date and mint only and bagged them accordingly. Picked out these 3 that were obvious when I was quick checking the dates and mints. Figured I'd look more closely at each at another time as I do find errors fascinating. I can't help but think sometimes when I see a post for some of them "Really? How the heck did you see/find that!?" and "is THAT really a thing?" I had some years/mint that I had loads of and for fun threw a buck or two out into circulation along with a few dollars worth of worn off date buffalo's. I don't know, thinking maybe I'd make someones day when/ if they got one in their change or maybe start a kid collecting. LOL, maybe I should have checked them more closely first!=o)

And... Sure Coop, by all means you may use the photo; in the mean time I'll note mine as a possible chipped hub. Thanks!

Here are the edited images of your 1938. You might want to copy them.   They are a premium coin, but interesting for markers for varieties. The help ID a die if needed. 1936:  1956: Ignore the BIE on the right with the arrow. The bottom of the "6" is where you can see the hub chip.  Again there is not a premium for these, just a marker.

Collector- Corner, I can only see the faint last 4 when I pitch the coin just right from the side, 1944.
