    Hello Everyone.
    While looking at a 1998-D Memorial Cent I noticed "VDB" on the lower left side. I will try to post a picture of magnification, but I am not sure how it will look.

    Is this rare? Do I have a bum penny? Or am I possibly sitting on a jackpot!

    Any inquiries would be awesome. I will try working on the pic.
    Thanks Everyone!

    If you are talking below Lincoln's shoulder near the rim, that is normal. If you are talking somewhere else we would need to see pictures

    But why do I not see any other my other coins with the exception of the wheat pennies with this on it?
    Thanks for your reply

    often, if the coin is weakly striuck, a worn die, or a polished die the V.D.B. is the first part of the image to disappear.
