    there seems to be a Micro D off to the left. Is this common? is this considered a true DD?
    Thanks for any assistance

    That is an 1938 D WRPM -002 repunched D west and a nice one at that. Can you post both the obv,and rev, for a grade analysis ?

    This is not "doubling" as in a doubled die, but "repunching" (RPM - Re-Punched Mintmark) and would properly be writen as "D/D" (meaning D over D).

    Wexler,Pope ,Flynn,Fivaz,Stanton, of the Cherry Pickers Guide all list the 1938 D/D DD/S & the DDD/S as stated in my post.
    But I guess you are more of an Authority?
    And you were the author of what reference book on Buffalo nickels?

    I am the only one who posted after you, and nothing I said was directed at nor even remotely countered/disputed anything you said, Paddy, so why the tirade?

    Paddy and Books are both correct.. this is not a Doubled Die, it is a Nice example of an RPM. The Micro D you are seeing is probably a stain on the coin.
