As for, wheat cents, in addition to [USER=5787]@Phil Ham[/USER]'s list of key dates, Red Book, also indicates 1911-D, 1912-D, 1916-S, 1922-D, 1922 (weak D), 1924-D, 1931-D, 1932, 1932-D, 1933, 1933-D, 1938-S, 1939-D, 1943-D (Boldly doubled mint mark), 1944-D over S, 1946-S over D, 1949-S, 1955 Doubled die obverse & 1955-S As for Jefferson nickels, it indicates 1938-D, 1938-S, 1939 (Double Monticello & Five Cents), 1939-D, 1939-S, 1943-P (3 over 2), 1943-P (Double eye), 1945-P (Double die reverse), 1949-D over S, 1950-D, 1954-S over D and 1955-D over S.
