This page was last updated on July 24, 2010. Copyright Notice: All photos on this website are copyright © 2009 by John A. Wexler unless otherwise noted. They may not be reproduced or used in any way without written permission. The obverse of the 2009 Presidency In Washington Lincoln cents shows the traditional Lincoln cent obverse that has been in use since the series was introduced in 1909. The target area for doubled dies on this design is the area around the bottom of Lincoln's ear, the ERTY of LIBERTY, and the date. The reverse of the 2009 Presidency In Washington Lincoln cents shows the Capitol building in Washington D.C. which has a half finished dome. The target area for doubled dies on this design would be the area at the bottom of the dome and tro the left of the triangular roof structure. While the entire obverse and reverse should be examined carefully for doubling, the target area is where you are most likely going to find the doubled die doubling. If you have any 2009 Early Childhood Lincoln cent doubled die varieties that are not shown on this page, we would love to add them to our files. Go to the Collector Resources page to find the guidelines for submitting coins for attribution. In the following listings the person listed as "Submitted By" is the person who sent the coin for listing in the Wexler Doubled Die Files.

Description: Extra column details can be seen inside the windows and door just below the triangular roof structure and in the windows immediately to the left of that structure. Die Markers: Obverse and reverse die markers vary among the various working dies. Submitted By: Cathy Barker, Dennis Sanderson, Marilyn Keeney, David C. Egeland Cross References: None known Comments: This abnormality is being found on both Philadelphia and Denver Mint coins. It is not certain at this time whether a doubled working hub is involved or if it is something in the design itself that does not manifest itself on all dies. Either way it should ultimately prove to be too common to have any value beyond the normal numismatic value of coins in this series.
