A ? for Buff. Nick collectors...

I have a 38-D Buff. in MS-66. Is it common for this date to have a DDR (ie: E. Pluribus unum is clearly doubled)?

According to Treasure Hunting Buffalo Nickls by Wexler, Pope and Flynn, there is a DDR variant of the 1938-D listed as WDDR-001/WOMM-003. The pictures show doubling of E Pluribus Unum as you've described. But, this is also a D/S (hence the WOMM-003) variety. In their comments, they mention that this variety draws more interest for the over mintmark than the doubling.

Do you have a pic?

There are many doubled dies in the Buffalo series. Unfortunately, most of them are not severe enough to warrant a price premium.

Do you have any pictures?

Edited to add: I do notice that this coin HAS a doubled MM (The 'D' is doubled at the top)
