2009 Doubled Die Reverse DDR-029

Description

DDR-029 on the 2009-P Lincoln Cent Early Childhood issue displays a strong northeastward spread manifesting as an extra log end on log number 9 from the bottom of the cabin wall. The I-2 marker is the extra log end on that ninth log. Die markers are UVC-2747 and DMR-032. Stage A is early die state (unconfirmed). Stage B is identified by a die crack on the rim through the seventh A in AMERICA. The doubling class is IV Offset Hub Doubling. VarietyVista cross-reference: DDR-029. The Early Childhood reverse, one of four bicentennial reverses of 2009 marking Lincoln's 200th birthday, depicts the log cabin birthplace near Hodgenville, Kentucky. The horizontal log-course construction provides a precise framework for doubling attribution, with each log end serving as a countable reference point. DDR-029's northeast spread on log 9 is a particularly clean diagnostic. The Stage B die crack at the seventh A of AMERICA provides a chronological marker for die progression on this Philadelphia Mint cent.
