<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 31482, member: 669&quot;]Well, you still have&#039;t quite &quot;got it&quot;.&nbsp; <i>Every</i> U.S. cent dated after 1908 is a &quot;Lincoln cent&quot; (<b>not</b> a &quot;Lincoln penny&quot;).&nbsp; If it is a 1909 <i>with</i> the designer&#039;s initials it may be referred to as a &quot;1909 VDB&quot;, and if it is the truly rare one, with a San Francisco mint mark, it would be a &quot;1909S VDB&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>1909 is the only year that there are coins both with and without the initials, so it&#039;s the only year that &quot;VDB&quot; is used as part of the description.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any cent dated before 1959 is a &quot;wheatie&quot;, or &quot;wheat cent&quot;.&nbsp; Those dated after 1958 are &quot;memorial Lincolns&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are variations of those designations, but mostly you&#039;ll hear one of the mentioned ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
