The initials being added to the Lincoln cent is something I would disagree with. The original coin design had the designers initials. The initials were removed and then restored, albeit on a different side. Kind of like the mint marks were restored to coins in 1968. They weren't added, but restored.

 

Perhaps just semantics, but I was looking for a coin where there were no initials originally and then they were added.

 

Anyway, congrats to EVP and IrishMike.
