OK I guess you can always learn something. I learned something today that I suppose I should have known. I was looking at the 2006 mint set that I got yesterday in the email. I was looking at the Lincoln Cent and I noticed that on the sleeve it has VDB on it. After reading in the RedBook I found out they restarted that in 1918 I never know that was on there. So I guess you can always learn something. I am I the only one who didn't know this? I guess if you were like me then you learned something new as well. Also I am posting a picture to show what I mean. Image Insert: |

dj: You're never too old or too young to learn something new. You found that out all by yourself and that was great research! I'm proud of you. I'm sure that there are others here that don't know that but, do now. Thanks for sharing your newly found knowledge!

Hey pure honesty there, I tell ya. You are never to old to learn. If I cant learn something new at least one thing a Day I am not doing something right.. Also I know you are trying to complete a type set . You can add to it by going through what you have already there are at least 18 different varieties for the Penny . mostly all common.

LOL.lol. I learned that I am not 18 anymore, talk about using some Icy-Hot. I tried to teach My daughter what a Bicycle kick (soccer)was and hurt my back. LOL. I guess that's what I get. |

scoutjim99, please point me in the direction of learning what are the 18 different varieties of the 2006-d penny...perhaps your referring to the 2006-p DDO's which i'am aware of 14 ...if not I've not done something right(as far as learning something new every day,for ..some time)... not to unusual for me |

I hear you on that. My daughter was talking smack on me getting old so I decided to race her around the house. I thought I was going to have a heartattack. But I did win. |

Actually that's a "fun fact" you can "stump" many numismatists of various levels...Was 1909 the only year of the VDB Lincoln....nope.

There is so much to know in general there's always gonna be things that slip through. Just think of all the things you know that newer people dont hehe. You can add 1 more to the win pile now though.

I was just talking about 18 variants for a type set not 2006d I have no Idea on that one sorry. But I guess I know that their are 14 Varietties now.. Oh man let me see, somewhere I have a list of them that I compiled some time ago. I will try to give you some off the top of my head. (some of the variants are real small)but they are different. 1909Vdb,(1910-1917)1918-1942,1943 Steel,1944-1946 Shell casing ,1947-1958,slightly different design, do not remember why of hand. 1959 Memorial cent, I also through In a (Philly proof and a San Fran Proof), A Denver,a San Fransisco mint state coins. also In 1969 the dies were changed again so add that one I also have added the 7 varieties of 1982. I through in a Modern piece since the dies are different and I guess you could get even Pickier and Throw in a Wide AM- from 1998 to 2000 and I think I have a small date large date of one of the dates in there and I have a Clear and filled S variety 1979 or 1981 proof in there. I know that is picky put just something I am trying to do my self. on all the coins In My type set that I can . Obviously I won't be able to do that with some of them cant afford it.

I think I read somewhere about the Brenner initials, but had forgotten about it. Glad sj reminded me they were there.

Charles Barber didn't like the fact that Brenner had his initials so prominently placed on a coin so Barber had the intials removed completely. Coincidentally, the initials returned to the bottom of the bust the year after Barber died
