    I am aware that the VDB initials are only found on the 1909 and the 1909 s Lincoln wheats, however I was reading about them on the Coin Tracker web site and now I am confused or reading the following incorretly. This is from their site "The initials can be found on the reverse of the 1909 coin only. In 1918 they would be added much smaller to the front of the coin near his Lincolns shoulder". Is this true about the 1918 coin if so does any body have a picture of one?

    It's been on them since 1918, still is. It's on the bottom edge of the bust, slightly to the left:

    Thanks, I have very bad eyes and cannot wait for my new Digital Microscope to arrive. Even with my loop I could not see this detail.
