Couldn't find this DDR on Wex, VV and CC. I know there are thousands already reported for 2009 but I haven't seen any DDR in this area of the coin. Also, there is a significant die chip in the center of the face of the cut log. I've included a composite of photos overlaying a normal 2009 FY and the coin in question. Before I submit to Wexler for attribution any helpful comments would be appreciated.. Thanks!       "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI |

Interesting. I cannot tell for sure, from the pics, if it is a doubled die or a die chip though. You have the coin in hand and am sure can see things that we cannot. I don't think that there are any listings with doubling in this area, it would be cool to have a new one in a new spot on the die though. Good eye!

Could be a jump on the Die production CNC.

Thanks for the feedback Silv and Makecents. There are no DDR's listed for this area of the coin. It is also possible it is a die chip. I will leave it to the attributor to determine. I'll keep you posted. There is also something else interesting about this same coin. Lincoln's left index finger looks like it has a finger nail. It might be PMD but up close it looks just like a fingernail. If this is suppose to be a fingernail, it is in the wrong place on the finger. I have not seen this on any of my other 25 2009 FY cents.   "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Edited by NY Islander

I agree with the die chip theory. Too far away from the normal DDR area on a Single Squeeze DDR. The roughness is typical because when an chip happens on a die, it leaves a void. This void will be filled with metal from every strike until the die is retired. So the texture would be seen from the chip off on the die event. |

Photos provided make it very difficult to make a definitive statement. Maybe a better closeup without the inserted boxes? As mentioned, there are thousands of variations of errors on this cent.  |

Sorry, I've already exceeded my closeup hardware or expertise. If it is a die chip, it is early and following the curved contour of the books pages.
