Hello. I am new to coin hunting and this is my first post. Can anyone tell me what is stamped at the bottom left of Lincoln's bust? It looks like VOB maybe. Also, why and how was this done? Any information would be appreciated.
VDB - initials of the artist Victor David Brenner who designed the bust, it's part of the design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_David_Brenner
What should I use to examine my coins? I was thinking of a loop, but I do not know if that will provide enough magnification.
