Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 9:51 pm I would guess 38, because the middle section of that digit appears to be near middle of the bottom loop. If it was a 5, I think it would be more full width. EDIT - Also, the bottom loop of the 5 that year was less curved Report this Post to the Staff

Kefiroth Pillar of the Community United States 1431 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 11:45 pm Even more telling is the number 8, which is much wider on a 1958. This is unquestionably a 1938-D Edited by Kefiroth 05/09/2014 11:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Yinzi50 Pillar of the Community United States 716 Posts	Posted 10/25/2014 01:38 am The upper loop of the 8 in 1938 is much smaller than the lower loop. The upper and lower loops of the 8 are the same size in 1948, 1958, 1968, etc. By the way I collect all 1938s because of this unique characteristics. Yours is 1938d.
