1944 D/D wheat penny

[ropegg]

Does anyone know the value of a 1944 D/D wheat penny? I have not been able to find any info on it.

Thanks for any help you may have.

I just checked the Red Book (2009 edition) and this penny isn't listed. Did you mean the 1944 D/S? That's listed at $125.00 in VF-20 and of course goes up from there.

If it's a doubled D, you may have something really rare! It might even be worth a trip to a brick and mortar coin dealer.

Have seen some people list 1944 D as 1944D Denver, but the D stands for Denver. The 1944 D/D is a 1944 D Penny. Value is based on grade. In BU (bright uncirculated) gems seen em offered from $1.32 through $5; they are worth whatever someone is inclined to bid for them. Have seen em graded by NGC for around $28.00; PCGS graded would be worth more. If the coin is circulated, probably not worth more than $0.50 Beauty and worth is in the eyes of the beholder. I prefer graded NGC and PCGS coins from reputable sellers if planning to collect them. I sell graded coins, proof coins, and nice circulated coins.

D=Denver Mint
S=San Francisco Mint
D/S= coin from either mint

Note: wouldn't hurt to take it to a shop or put up a high definition photo for comments.

Thanks Tias, It is 1944 D/D (red?) circulated but although I have found info on other D/D pennies I have not been able to find anything on one for 1944.

Thanks Burgy, Since I had seen some double stamped pennies were listed at higher prices I thought I would see if this one might be worth actually checking into and getting it graded. I really don't know much about coins but the thing that made me more curious is that I have never found mention of one anyplace I have searched. If it is really a rarity, I thought maybe the D/D may be worth more than the D as I had found where the D/S was. It may only be worth $0.50 though. Or only $0.01.

I will see if this shows well enough to see it.

If the D/D stands for double die, and it's an error coin, than you should definitely have it looked at in a coin shop. Value will still be impacted by grade. Won't be worth $0.50

Thanks, I may see if I can find a brick and mortar shop to get an idea.
