Who announced that reconstruction was over?
After the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, Vice President Andrew Johnson, a man with loyalty to the south and no sympathy toward the former slaves, assumed the highest office of the land. He proceeded to remove federal soldiers who were in place to protect former slaves. He allowed the south to both drag their feet in ratifying the Thirteenth Amendment as well as to elect governments, stacked with former confederates. A high number of pardons were given to people who had risen in violent revolt against the country. Once he had done all these as well as gut The Freedman's Bureau, he then abruptly said reconstruction was over.

Who designed the Lincoln Penny?
Victor David Brenner designed both sides of the original "wheat ear" cent first issued in 1909. The image of Lincoln was based on an earlier medal that he had sculpted. The first coins struck had Brenner's initials on the back near the bottom rim. For reasons that aren't really clear today there was a public outcry over how "prominent" his monogram was, and the Mint was forced to remove the letters later that year. That's why you see 1909 cents referred to as "1909 VDB" and "1909 plain". In 1918 the Mint decided to give him permanent credit, but tucked a microscopic version of his monogram under the fold of Lincoln's coat where it remains today. The Lincoln Memorial reverse was introduced in 1959. It was designed by Frank Gasparro, one of the greatest engravers to work for the Mint in the second half of the 20th century. His initials FG appear to the right of the Memorial, near the steps. The size of the letters has been changed over the years, sometimes larger, sometimes smaller, but it's always been at least as large as Brenner's original 1909 monogram ... and NO ONE has ever complained!
What does VDB mean on pennies?
VDB stands for Victor David Brenner, who created the front side of the cent (Lincoln's head).He put them prominently on the reverse side of the coin when it was first issued. The public thought it was egotistical (?) and a campaign was launched to pressure the mint to remove his initials. Later that year they were removed. In 1918 the initials were placed in extremely tiny letters under the fold of Lincoln's coat, where they remain on coins struck ever since.vdb are the initials for Victor D. Brenner, the designer of the front of the Lincoln cent. He also designed the wheat-ear reverse used from 1909 to 1958.
