Are the 2009 Formative Year Cent a doubled die?

The reason I ask this is because I have found one, sorry about no pics right now. I didn't take any because I've read where some people don't consider them DD so I didn't want to waste my time. That's why I'm coming to you all. I can post images later today. None the less, I'm hanging on to it. Who knows, some opinions may change down the road.

There are a number of doubled dies in in that issue.
Please post some close-up and in focus pictures.
Without them, no one can help you.

 

Ill try my best to get some clear pictures. That's my problem right now. Using my IPhone and my loupe together, isn't cutting it.

 

yes... http://doubleddie.com/92301.html

 

I have been to that site, guess I over looked that page some how. That's cool. Thank you!!

 

The consensus is that the WDDR 006-skeleton finger is the most noteworthy. One in MS 67, you can still get for under $100.

 

If I remember correctly, I believe it looks like WDDR-016.

 

Armando check these '09's for interesting die cracks on the reverse. I think the best one is 'lightning bolt Abe", where the crack starts at the top of the rim and penetrates Abe's skull into his cheekbone.

 

Ok. I usually just check the reverse on the 09s for the doubled die. I know I found a 1994 cent that has a huge die crack that runs through Lincoln's head to the back of it, making parts of his hair hardly visible. It's the one that I'm using as my profile pic.

 

Here is a picture of my 2009 Formative Years which is a Wexler WDDR-002

 

A double thumb NGC 68. Very nice.

Did you consider reslabbing with ANACS to get the WDDR 002 designation on the plastic?

 

I am hoping that NGC will recognize and slab these one day. Bought it already graded and it was not until robecsimages took some pictures for me that I realized it was a doubled die variety. Considering NGC has graded over 27,000 examples so far with only 18 graded MS68RD I will keep it as is for now

 

Please be patient with me. I know my pictures aren't the best but you can still see what I'm talking. It looks like a thumb and more sticking past the thumb. I looked at wexlers and really could find anything that may match it.

 

From that photo it looks like it could be a Wexler WDDR-051 This close up is from the Lincoln Resource page. Does it look like this?

 

It could be a WDDR-006 as well. This picture is again from the Lincoln Cent Resource site How about this?

 

That's it!! I see all three perfectly!!! Yaaaaaa!

 

Sweet. Nice find

Thank you so much for helping! That's awesome!! To think that I paid .50 for that roll. Who knew?

 

So that makes 3 1998 WAMS, 2009 DD, possible 83 DD in a month. I love it.
