Starting in 1918, "VDB" was added onto the underside of Lincoln's bust, below the shoulder. There are claims of a 1917 matte proof coin existing (one known). However, many sources now claim this coin does not exist. Issues from 1944 to 1946 used brass made from spent wartime shell casings composed of 70% copper and 30% zinc. As a result, such issues are made of 95% copper and 5% zinc. However, alloy resumed to pre-war composition after 1946 (95% copper and 5% tin and zinc) The 1943 bronze cent is a "Transitional Error" which occurred during the changeover from bronze to steel coated zinc. #21N Listing and template services provided by inkFrog
