    I think you are wanting to see things. Sorry but I really don't see much of anything except minor marks, grease, etc.

    Your best bet to find out if you have anything in this 2009 cent series is to look at John Wexler's www.doubleddie.com site. There are hundreds of listings for the 2009 cents and loaded with photos and description along with information on specific die markers to confirm a particular error. I've been working on these for several years and there are plenty of errors to be found, both minor and major. You won't find too many in circulation so you might want to purchase a couple of rolls in B.U. condition from a local dealer or off ebay to get started. And like the stork with a half swallowed frog in it's mouth "Never Give Up".

    A few things to look for on the 2009P Formative cent, which you have pictured are... reverse...die chips on the left shoulder, die chips in the hair, a retained large die chip on the C in Cent, die cracks on the left arm, die cracks at the split in the log, cracks at the left foot, a die gouge under the mallet. On the obverse, die cracks in the hair, at the shoulder, at the forehead, these are all minor errors but still collectible and may be markers for more serious doubled dies which usually occur near the reverse fingers, and under the book. This is only the tip of the iceberg.

    It looks like a flower but Im guessing that the image above is where the actual linings came from. I just pretty much traced the lines and the shape is almost exact. If Im wrong I guess I am going nuts lol
