Ok first of all I'm a newbie, an addicted newbie, so help is needed. I'very been having a blast last couple of months with my lil girl kid, (she's 8) looking thru penny's and state quarters. I am not interested in selling, just curious.
I have 5, Lincoln memorial penny's of various dates and theRe is NOT the FG initials on reverse next to memorial. How rare is that?
Thanks for the help and check out my other questions please

Hi, and welcome to Treasurenet and the great hobby of looking at coins. I don't know the rarity of such coins, but, I only see two (2) of the five (5) coins pictured missing the "FG". Could those two have been a result of weak die strikes?

I agree, weak die strike or filled die, I would guess and say it has some good value if it is genuine.
