The obverse of the 2009 Formative Years 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 Formative Years Lincoln cents shows Lincoln sitting on a log reading a book. He is taking a break from his work as a rail splitter. The target area for doubled dies on this design is the area where the left hand is holding the book. 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.

Description: Extra thickness shows on the fingers and thumb of the left hand. It is similar to FY WDDR-036, but unlike FY WDDR-036 it does not show the extra thickness on the right hand.
Die Markers: Obverse Stage A: A short, vertical die scratch can be found above the left side of the E of WE. A pre-die crack depression runs NW through the eyebrow into the forehead. A pre-die crack depression runs from NNW to SSE through the upper front of the forehead. Obverse Stage B: A die crack runs NW through the eyebrow into the forehead. A die crack runs from NNW to SSE through the upper front of the forehead. Obverse Stage C: A die gouge can be found at the rim to the right of the N of IN. A small die gouge can be found to the left of the center of the W of WE. A die crack runs from SSW to NNE to the left of the upper ear. A die crack runs from SW to NE through the hair on the upper back of the head with a very large die chip south of the D in GOD. A die crack runs NE from the back of the eye into the forehead. A pre-die chip depression can be found near the center front of the nose. A die crack runs from NE to SW through the bowtie and then curves south into the vest. Obverse Stage D: The die chip in the hair is now very large. A small die chip can now be found near the center front of the nose. Reverse Stage A: A die gouge can be found between the tops of the L and U of PLURIBUS. A die crack runs SW from the top right of the left boot. A pre-die crack depression runs through the lower part of the left boot. Reverse Stage B: A die crack runs SSW from the top right left boot and then curves SW through the center of the lower part of the boot. A light die crack runs down the lower part of the right boot. Reverse Stage C: Short die cracks runs NE from the top of the O, the top left E, and the top right N of ONE. Short die cracks curve south from the bottom left C of CENT and the bottom left O of ONE. A die crack runs NW from the left shoulder through the left lapel, the neck, and the left ear. A die crack runs down the rolled up left sleeve and down the lower part of the upper arm. A die crack runs down the left forearm. A die chip can be found below the center of the right end of the log. The die crack down the left boot now extends partially into the field from the front tip of the boot. Reverse Stage D: The die crack down the right boot runs SSE into the field ending midway to the L of PLURIBUS.

The extra thickness is most pronounced on the thumb and index finger of the left hand. Compare with the next photo of a normal hand.
This photo shows a hand with normal thickness to the thumb and index finger.

Comments: This variety is extremely similar to WDDR-022, but it is definitely from a different working die. Chances are good that some of these will ultimately be mislabeled as WDDR-022 and vice versa.

Comments: The exact same doubling has now been documented for three different working dies. More working dies affected with this doubling are likely to exist. This listing replaces FY WDDR-098 submitted by Steven Bernatowicz and FY WDDR-099 submitted by Marilyn Keeney which were two examples of this doubled working hub. The third working die with this same doubling was submitted by Nick Janetos. Because this is a doubled working hub, it should prove to be very common with little or no extra value.
