2009 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-027

Description

Light eastward spread visible as an extra lower log end on log number 10 from the bottom defines this twenty-seventh doubled die reverse for the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial "Log Cabin" design by Lazar Shagin. The specificity of the diagnostic — a single extra log end on one particular log — illustrates how variety cataloging has evolved to document even the most localized instances of hub doubling on modern coinage. Die markers under UVC-2745 and DMR-030 document three stages: Stage A with both reverse and obverse in Early Die State, Stage B at Mid-Die State (unconfirmed), and Stage C at Late Die State (unconfirmed). Twenty-seven DDRs cataloged for the 2009 Log Cabin cent from a single mint reflects the extraordinary variety hunter interest generated by the Bicentennial program, where collectors systematically examined rolls and bags of newly released coins searching for die anomalies. Cataloged by VarietyVista, DDR-027 belongs to a family of log cabin varieties where eastward-spread extra log ends constitute the most common diagnostic pattern, each one traced to a distinct working die through the UVC identification system.
