Here is their official description:
When U.S. coin designer Victor David Brenner added his initials to this cent, uproar occurred among the public. They demanded that his rather large and conspicuous initials be removed at once from the coin. Mintage was stopped before the first year of production. His initials were eventually restored in 1918 and can be found in minute form on the rim just under the shoulder of Lincoln.
The obverse features Lincoln with the words “In God We Trust” at the top. The reverse is the familiar wheat design.
