Fitz337 Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 10:03 am I found this1938D Wheat penny in my Dad's penny stash and have no idea what could have made the markings on the rim of the Obverse. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 10:29 am Ahhh, the rim markings aren't the important thing here. However, you have something much more important, you have a Doubled Die Reverse. It is the 1938 D DDR-001. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75193 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 11:20 am Definitely a DDR, but the Post Strike Damage ( PSD) on the rims pretty much took away most of the value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 11:21 am I definitely agree E&V but he has one and coming from his Dad makes it worth more to him I'm sure. Yep, DDR-001. Thanks for the pics. Edited by Jim0815 02/01/2019 11:22 am Report this Post to the Staff
