There are 4 possibilities:

1. Your coin has no mint mark under the date, and no letters "V.D.B." on the back. It's worth a couple of dollars.

2. It does not have a mint mark, but DOES have the letters on the back. It's worth 6 or 7 dollars.

3. It has an 'S' mint mark, and no letters on the back. It's worth $60 to $100, depending on condition.

4. It has both an 'S' mint mark AND the letters on the back. It's worth $500 to $1000, depending on condition.

However, there are many counterfeits of the 'S' mint coins, so it's best to have it inspected by a certified dealer if you do have one.

I found a 1909 V.D.B. penny with the S on e-bay and it was selling for $2,500.

What is a 1989 penny with no VDB on it what is the value PCI CERTIFIED graded MS-65 RED?

A 1989 penny without the "VDB" (Victor David Brenner's initials) is a common coin, as the "VDB" was only removed from certain issues in 1909. However, a 1989 penny in MS-65 Red condition, especially if PCI certified, can typically be valued around $1 to $3. The lack of "VDB" does not significantly increase its value, as this penny is not considered rare. Premiums are generally found in higher-grade, rarer coins or errors.

Yes, a penny with the initials "VDB" and "FG" can be quite valuable. The "VDB" signifies the designer Victor David Brenner's initials on the 1909-S Lincoln penny, which is highly sought after by collectors. The "FG" refers to the initials of engraver Frank Gasparro, found on later coins, but if present on a rare penny, it could also add to its value. Overall, the specific condition and rarity of the coin will significantly influence its worth.
