2009-D Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-021

Description

Positioned among the higher-numbered Denver Mint entries for this prolific Bicentennial issue, WDDR-021 records another instance of hub doubling on the 2009-D Lincoln Early Childhood cent’s log cabin reverse. The Denver Mint struck substantial quantities of all four 2009 Bicentennial reverse designs during their respective production quarters, generating die pair populations large enough to yield dozens of cataloged doubled die varieties for each design. Estimated values of AU $2, MS60 $3, MS63 $5, and MS65 $7 place this variety in the moderate tier of collector demand among Early Childhood DDRs. Attributed by the Wexler Team under Wexler Variety ID: 2009-D 1¢ EC WDDR-021, the Early Childhood reverse’s cabin architecture offers collectors a distinctive canvas for detecting doubling, as the straight horizontal and vertical lines of the log construction show displacement with particular clarity compared to the more organic design elements found on the other three Bicentennial reverses.
