2009 (D) Lincoln Cent - Early Childhood - Doubled Die Obverse WDDO-001

Description

The primary doubled die obverse for the 2009 Denver Mint Lincoln Cent Early Childhood issue, WDDO-001 documents hub doubling on the first of four Bicentennial designs celebrating Lincoln's 200th birthday. The Early Childhood design depicts a log cabin in Kentucky. Cataloged under Wexler Variety ID 2009-D 1¢ EC WDDO-001, the hub doubling creates secondary impressions on obverse design elements including Victor David Brenner's Lincoln portrait and the surrounding legends. The 2009 Bicentennial program featured four reverse designs representing Birth and Early Childhood, Formative Years, Professional Life, and Presidency, with the Early Childhood design by Richard Masters and Jim Licaretz. Denver Mint production of the EC design contributed to the four-design commemorative program, and WDDO-001 represents the principal obverse doubled die attribution for the Denver issue.
