2009 (D) Satin Finish Lincoln Cent - Early Childhood - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-041

Description

Listed as 2009-D 1-cent SF EC WDDR-041, this doubled die reverse is another satin finish variety from the 2009-D Lincoln Bicentennial Early Childhood cent. The satin finish designation indicates production for the annual uncirculated mint set using planchets that underwent specialized burnishing before striking, producing a smooth matte surface distinct from business strikes and proofs. The Early Childhood reverse design, featuring the one-room log cabin where Lincoln was born, accumulated numerous doubled die varieties across both Philadelphia and Denver production runs during 2009. Collectors pursuing comprehensive 2009-D satin finish DDR sets should verify the specific die markers for WDDR-041 to distinguish it from other similar attributions.
