2000-S Doubled Die Reverse DDR-001

Description

Strong spread directed northeast producing extra log ends on logs number 6 and 7 from the bottom distinguishes this first-cataloged DDR for the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial Cent Birth and Early Childhood log cabin reverse design. The northeast displacement creates visible doubled log end protrusions on the right side of the cabin wall, where the horizontal log construction terminates in protruding ends that are a prominent design feature. Die stage documentation under UVC-2648 and DMR-002 tracks three states: Stage A with reverse and obverse in Early Die State, Stage B in MDS (unconfirmed), and Stage C in LDS (unconfirmed). Cataloged by VarietyVista, the log cabin reverse by Richard Masters and Jim Licaretz depicts the humble Kentucky birthplace of Abraham Lincoln in 1809, and the detailed horizontal log construction provides multiple parallel lines where hub displacement is readily detectable. As DDR-001, this holds the primary position in the doubled die reverse catalog for this design, suggesting it was either the most prominent or earliest discovered variety among the log cabin DDR population. The strong spread on two consecutive log ends provides an accessible diagnostic that collectors can identify under moderate magnification when examining the right side of the cabin structure.
