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?

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.

I am such a novice. Thank you. I'll read up on it and try to figure out what exactly I'm looking at.

We are here to help! Just to confirm please take some clear close up pics of E PLURIBUS UNUM. Especially the E and dot just to the right of it.

The only bad thing though, is the damage and smashed rims pretty much any premium the coin used to have. It's a shame, since it's a DDR.

Definitely a DDR, but the Post Strike Damage ( PSD) on the rims pretty much took away most of the value.

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.
