    Yes, actually D/D/S

    Looks like a '38 D/S to me.The 'S' crossbar from the under 'S' is clearly visible in the close-up image.

    Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.

    I do not have access to my files right now, but I would say no, it is not
    Reason, the center bar of the S mint mark on the Buffalo nickels is almost horizontal
    There is very little curve or bend in the line going from the bottom right to top left
    I will check my book when I get home tonight to be sure

    Did anyone look in coinfacts?
    The example there shows a very distinct horizontal piece of the ' S ' through the ' D ' about mid height.
    @kevinj may be correct in this instance.

    Yes. It's the FS-512.

  • kevinjkevinj Posts: 989 ✭✭✭

    Yes, it is OMM-002
    There are two die states on 1938-D/S OMM-002
    The EDS has a nice crisp curve near the top, is much skinnier, about half the height of the D (from the field to the top of the D)
    The late die state is much thicker, about 3/4 the height of the D, and appears slightly straighter near the top.
    This is the late die state of OMM-002.
    Both die states are shown in my Authoritative Reference on Buffalo nickels and The OMM book.
