1938 LWC DDR004?

The number you choose, which site is it from? Coppercoins, Wexler's varieties or CONECA or something else?

looks good to me.

The place look first for a DDR on wheat cents is on the dots between the EPU.


Your coin looks normal in that area. Then I look at the devices. If they are thicker than normal I take a second look. But if the dots are not enlarged, then it looks slim to me. Other devices could be enlarged. The wheat lines of the tails of the stalks.


But keep in mind that circulation wear/flattening can affect one device or several in a row. That is what can throw us off with just one device affected. So if you could get some closer shots of the EPU (three-four devices) then that might show us more?

The dots on my coin look elongated and the bottoms of the U's look thick to me.

Those dots definitely look elongated to me.

John1, when I've been in doubt, I've found the thickness in the horizontal bar of the L to be a good tell (rhyme unintentional). :)

I agree it is a DDR. A lot better images. Nice find.
