I found this, and looked it up to see the history and value, I read that it's supposed to have VDB under Lincoln's shoulders, right above the rim, but I don't see it on this coin. I was thinking it could just be worn out, but that's a very small space, and everything else is legible. So is it an error? Thank you in advance  |

Can you show an overall picture of the coin also to get a feel of how circulated the coin is? The signature is faint and on a worn coin, it disappears easily from circulation wear.
If it's not a BU coin I think it would be chalked up to wear and not an error.

Most hair and beard details are gone and ear, wheat grains are flat, I'm no grading expert, just my opinion but likely this is high F-12 to a low VF-20 depending on the grader opinions...
I'd have to say it worn off like his ear/hair separation did.
Again though this is just my opinion, and I'm no professional. Others feel free to give an opinion also please.

Thanks for posting the great photos.  I agree with Big-Kingdom. In my opinion it probably was worn off. |

Could also be a Grease Fill issue or possibly die polishing. |

Probably most likely worn off by circulation.
Errers and Varietys.

Every-time my old eyes blink on some images, things seem to change. The initials are incused and maybe filled in with some pocket debris (sweat and or dirt).  To make a long story short (every other blink that is). I think I see an outline of something. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st

I think they are there or at least the remains of them. Quote:Could also be a Grease Fill issue or possibly die polishing. Grease Fill? No, the VDB is incuse on the coin so they are raised on the die, nothing to fill. Die polishing is a possibility and it does happen, several years are well known for it happening such as 1989. |
