Do all pennies have the VDB initials under Abe's head?

    I have fifteen 1944s which do not have the initials. Just wondering if that's normal. IMG_20181017_164407.jpg IMG_20181017_155404.jpg

    What are you talking about? I can clearly see VDB initials on the cent in the center.

    Some might have the initials weak, from
    worn or even polished dies, but they
    are probably there, just weak....unless they're
    missing due to the polished die.

    Can you do a close up of the VDB area on
    a few of them?

    The VDB initial for 1909 is either not there or it is on the reverse on the bottom. For 1910 to 1918 they're not there. However for 1919 to now they're where his shoulder cuts off. There is a slanted area, and that is where they are. I can also see VDB on most of them.

    Yes, I see VDB's on most of them too.
