I see that now, interesting note about John Zug, isn't it? For those who don't have the book, John Zug bought 25,000 S VDBs from the mint at issue, and resold them at 1.75 cents a piece in 1918.
PCGS Guide, First and Second Editions state 4 dies. I am going to look into this further.

Well heck ya, that was a great deal. He probably put it in the bank and lost it all a few years later when the stock market fell.

Great info jd. The B & D look exactly like your pics. And what I thought was just fill or dirt is a bump in the top loop of the MM.

With coins like those I always recommend coppercoins.com. The guy that runs that web site has 2 books out on just Lincoln Cents and I have both of them. Also, he is very helpful with questions like that and if you go to that web site you can go right into the pages in his book about those coins or discuss it with him. He brags about taking thousands and thousands of photos of just Lincoln Cents.

He also frequents this forum as well under the nick coppercoins so if you ask a question here or you can even email him through the forum (once you have enough posts) and bring the topic to his attention
