1989 No VDB

O.K.

So much for that question.

How about this one. Is there any premium whatsoever for
a "1989" Lincoln Cent with "NO" "VDB" present on the
coins obverse ?
(one that was never punched) not talking about a worn
coin or sanding or grinding off etc.
Maybe someone knows of the die variety for that particular
anomaly (good word to use instead of error or variety or ?
if indeed I did spell it correctly :)

Thank you for any info that you may supply.

Cute thingy there grace

Thank's Amac

Thank's

I did not know if it was a die variety or not.
Just a process anomaly.
I am trying to remember where I had read about
that particular year, that it had a premium on it for
that reason (no vdb). probably was one of those "what coins to look for sites" Oh well, I guess someone somewhere thinks they are worth
something.

Yes, that is true for sure.
i remember looking for one since 1990
and had it on my look for list.
never found one anyway, but never really
researched it back then enough. you tend to believe
what you read if it had to do with coins and somebody took the time
to write about it. I know, I have this 1955 penny and everytime I look
at it my eyes seem to cross and I see double :) read somewhere it was worth some money. nah, must be the ghost of Rock N Roll.

There is no value. They used to sell for .20 to .25 cents. The VDB on Lincolns shoulder can be missing due to heavy die abrasion. It can also be from the result of a poor strike or being struck by a filled die. The reason they even sold at all was because someone was touting them as a rare error. It's numismatic baloney:-) If you look at enough coins, you can find NO VDB on just about any date of Lincoln Cent due to the reasons stated above.

The fact that it is in a slab, doesn't mean much. It cost somebody some money to slab a Twenty Cent coin.

It is not a variety.
