It seems that a number of folks have found some of the 2 DDR's
Maybe around 15 % of the coins searched have been one of the two DDR's
How many cents have you looked at and how many did you find.
I searched 1 roll and found
(6) DDR-001 "The Double Thumb Double Die"
(5) DDR-002 "Six Fingered Abe"
date 4/30 9774

I only have a scanner and it does terrible pics.
Here is the reference from sanitarium1inmate thread where Billy G. Crawford gave his analysis:
(1) 2009 1c Formative Years DDR?: New listing in my "C" files now officially assigned as 2009 1c FY CDDR-001. Exhibits doubling of the index finger and middle finger just under the thumb. This reverse also exhibits a type of die dent or die gouge with a raised line extending through the book pages.
(2) 2009 1c Formative Years DDR?: New listing in my "C" files now officially assigned as 2009 1c FY CDDR-002. Exhibits prominent doubling of the index finger located within the field between the primary thumb and primary index finger.

DDR-001 Double Thumb
DDR-002 six finger
I don't know if it's a DDR, but if so it looks to be an extension of DDR-002, as it appears to be along the same line.... but it actually connects to the spine of the book!?
The second pic is a 200x close-up of the thumb & below area... the first pic also seems to show possible minor doubling(?) at the edges of the four finger along the spine?
Coppercoins.com website, but in the description it states "A light to moderate spread shows as an 'extra finger' on the book." where to me, it looks like the top edge of the thumb (not finger) has doubled downward... any opinions on that?
One is a very minor double thumb

<< <i>it sounds like only boxes dated 27/28/29/30 have the DDR-002 "6 finger" I thought for sure I'd find at least one oddity in the 4/24 box but I looked at every coin under my Dinolite and didn't find anything different from the intended design. >>
I've got 1 box coming that is dated 4/22 and 4 boxes coming dated 4/28. So I will find out about the 4/22 box for us. As far as the 4/28 boxes I might just open one and see and if it is golden then the others will be held onto sealed for a while.

however I do know boxes date 05/?? do contain DDR-001
<< <i>What was the date on your box? Were you looking at the P Mint rolls? >>
5/23 yes I was
4/20 and 4/14 dates
I will open later and give results.
I have a lot of 5 from 4/30 and 4/24 coming.
Joe
I have 10 boxes now and another 10 coming. I am not going to open any more until I see which way the wind is blowing.
At 69 years old, I am too old to get excited.
Here goes the 4/14 box.

<< <i>opened a box dated 04-29...10:30....no soup for me >>
Looks like they are no guarantees on dates cause mine were 4/29 also but mine had errors.
I was a Monkey
4/22 11:19 - 0 DDR-001, 0 DDR-002, 9 with a die crack from the log to the rim
4/23 13:24 - 0 DDR-001, 0 DDR-002
4/30 7:08 - 10 DDR-001, 7 DDR-002
4/30 7:51 - 0 DDR-001, 0 DDR-002
4/30 7:07 - 13 DDR-001, 4 DDR-002, 5 of what I call Fu Manchu (die break going from Abe's chin to his chest), 6 where it looks like there is some die wear on the observe C in Cents
4/30 7:07 - 7 DDR-001, 14 DDR-002, 4 where it looks like there is some die wear on the observe C in Cents
4/30 7:51 - 11 DDR-001, 7 DDR-002, 8 of what I call Fu Manchu (die break going from Abe's chin to his chest), 7 where it looks like there is some die wear on the observe C in Cents
5/1 9:42 - 0 DDR-001, 0 DDR-002, 2 with a die crack from the ax blade to the rim
5/1 9:43 - Zero
Looks like for me the 4/30 rolls have them and I have 4 boxes left!
I have 5 4/30 boxes.
<< <i>I have 5 4/30 boxes. >>
OPEN ONE OF THOSE SUCKERS UP!! For Pitboss's sake!
Anyone know what rolls have the trailing tails? A friend said he has a roll of D mint coins with a date of 4/14 on the box.

P.S.- These came out of a box dated 04/30/09, 10:06, 9774
It looks like the forum members are going to clean up on this one if it proves out to be a winner. We are still buying them for next to nothing. I have bought 9 more boxes today with key dates for only $13 a box average. WOW!!!
<< <i>I found 9 of your DDR 004's in one box. I knew they were special but they really didn't stand out, IMHO. Have a great time searching !! Mark. >>
Same here, I found 7 obviously different so I saved them also.

Beats me, it looks like this (taken from eBay)
This is BJ Neffs site. He has done some serious research on these anomalies.
Here's one I just bought last night, I like how their trailing off Lincolns eyebrow, nose, etc...
Lestrrr
Have these been found in both P & D?

Any thoughts on what this could be?
<< <i>I just popped open a few rolls of the 2009 P Mint Formative Lincoln's. Besides finding all the DDR coins I've seen pictured here already I found a small handful of these coins pictured.
Any thoughts on what this could be? I SAY WE CALL IT THE " CATFISH LINCOLN"
>>
I did overlays with the mint's pictures of the coins but their kind of small.
Is there something going on inside the date of your coin or am I seeing things?
Lestrrr
From Hot Lips to Bearded Goddess, ya gotsta have a catchy name!
With so many rolls being cracked open maybe some intact rolls with that expensive paper might be worth something down the road.....

I thought it was clash marks, Thank you for confirming
I just reviewed the date and can only assume it was the camera as none of the coins show what appears to be doubling
