MountainXBGL Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 01/14/2008 5:21 pm This is a 2006P Lincoln. Notice the "VDB" with the "B" being twisted slightly clockwise and the odd in appearance? Was wondering if any had any insight. Report this Post to the Staff

MountainXBGL Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 01/15/2008 9:16 pm How is the "VDB" put on the coin? It is part of the die I guess, right? If that is the case, could the "VDB" be a marker for a die variety? I mean, like this coin for instance, if it had a doubling on it or a wavy step line or other noted die variety, couldn't the "oddness" of the "B" in "VDB" be a marker? Report this Post to the Staff

If it was a damage after the coins was struck (there is no way to tell) then it (The B ) wouldn't have a use as a die marker. The VDB is raised on the die on modern cents. On the 1909 VDB cents, the V.D.B. was recessed into the die. Report this Post to the Staff
