1909P Lincoln cent DDR-006 (Late Stage A/Early B)
VV- (DDR-06) http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20Doubled%20Dies%20Vol%201/1909PDDR006.htm
DD- (WDDR-02) http://doubleddie.com/287322.html
I like picking the '09 DDR's but not necessarily attributing them. Quite a few don't seem to have much in the way of obvious markers or there are unrecognized markers depending on the die state. And Copper Coins doesn't have many that cross to VV or DD, so it's usually a matter of checking through many listings.
The key pick-up die marker on this one, for me anyway, was the small die gouge in the upper A (STATES).
There is no die crack in the middle of the right wheat grains to the rim on this coin which would be stage B on VV.
This one has an obvious die crack over the VDB but the VV images are dark and hard to see.
This coin seems to fall between stage A and B, unless the visible separation on the left wheat tip makes it VEDS.
My coin has a very light die scratch between the IB (LIBERTY) instead of the "die gouge" shown in VV images.
One thing I almost forgot is that VV has this listed as a class 6 doubled die but the separation on the left wheat tip tells me it also has class 2 doubling.
