That wheatie has been badly damaged. The date would not matter as it has no value over one cent 

If you are referring to a grade, it means Specimen.

I know at first it is sometimes hard to distinguish between MD and DD. It took a while for me to catch on until one day it finally clicked and I have had no problem ever since. Here is a little chart I put together for someone on another Forum.  It is pretty basic.
