Hello, I found this in Bank roll.After a little research online
I did find out that the ORIGINAL Design by David Brenner was
without "In God We Turst".Also 2 Presidents (Roosevelt and Taft) had
look at Designs with Motto missing "In God We Trust".Roosevelt had
approved the Design and left the office.Taft choose the one with the
Motto "In God We Trust" My source:PGCS history,and Wikipidi online.
There were also short runs made of various types and left the MINT
to show to Elite Congress people of the time.
From the Letter by LEACH (Chief of the MINT) to David Brenner a
brief description shows that the HEAD of Linclon was touching the
Top of the coin,that he did not lower it when asked...But LEACH
asked someone else to do it,and a empty space occured up to be
filled.Thus,the Motto "In God We Trust" to Balance the coin.Also
Brenner was asked by LEACH to take out his Initals on the Back
and he said "I'll put them in front by the coat jacket! All this
in TEST RUNS of the
Lincoln Penny! What I see S Mint Mark doubling
and Lincolns Jacket overlapping on the Edge,and Top Head too high
for a normal Linclon Design.And no "In God We Trust"!
Friends my Question? Is this a TEST RUN Penny? How Rare? Worth?
The is Great for a coin of this Age.Clear ONE CENT and United
States of America Clear (no VDB).I can read Pluberus,too
