2009 (D) Satin Finish Lincoln Cent - Early Childhood - Doubled Die Reverse WDDR-051

Description

Identified as 2009-D 1-cent SF EC WDDR-051, this doubled die reverse adds to the extensive catalog of satin finish varieties from the 2009-D Lincoln Bicentennial Early Childhood cent. The SF designation confirms production for the annual uncirculated mint set on specially burnished planchets at the Denver Mint, a method used from 2005 to 2010 that gave coins a distinctive non-reflective surface. The Early Childhood reverse by Richard Masters portrays the log cabin in Kentucky where Lincoln began his life, and the fine horizontal log lines serve as sensitive indicators of hub doubling particularly well-rendered on satin finish specimens. Each variety has its own specific doubling pattern and die marker profile, and careful comparison is essential for accurate attribution.
