Found this 1938s penny and under the scope the S seems doubled but the date shows no doubling at all. Sure looks like an S/S to me but thought I would ask you people.

It's 1938S-1MM-001. Pretty common in later die state, this one is LMDS. In BU grades is worth $15-$25, and in earlier die state is worth more. I bought an original BU roll once and found 15 of these in the roll.

There are three known RPMs for 1938S Lincoln cents - none of them are especially difficult to find. #2 is the most common, #1 is second, and #3 is somewhat tough, but is very minor.

and this is the difference between someone who has only seen a photo and one who has seen many in person. I was fairly certain that it was the 001 but wouldn't dare state that as certainty. I am grateful that we have forums like this with people like Chuck willing to input their knowledge gratis
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies guys. Its nice finding something once in awhile keeping your hopes up for that really rare one. I have gone threw maybe 2000 wheats the last few nights I bought and this popped up. Might not be worth a lot, but it goes into my books as a good one.
