1938-D/D Repunched Mintmark One Cent MS RB FS-501
Details
The 1938-D cent is a fairly typical example of the late-1930s Lincoln issues, proving common in grades of MS66, scarce in MS67, but in all cases exhibiting good strike and generally nice color. Few buyers should have much of an issue finding decent examples, and there are plenty to choose from rather talking about circulated examples or nice mid-range Gems.
Obverse: Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date and mintmark (If any) positioned on the right side.
Reverse: Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter.
