Not quite.
First:
The US Department of Commerce didn't start issuing Amateur Radio licenses
until 1912.
So even though there are a handful of stations that first went on the air in
1909 (W1MX (1XM) MIT and K3CR (8XE) Penn State to name two), they weren't
first LICENSED until 1912.
Second:
Don't the rules say you send the last two digits of the year first licensed?
Yes, 1912 and 2012 will be 100 years apart, but... so?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] 4-digit CK's?
Remember the big problem with 2-digit year notations on all our computerized
financial records back a few years ago, the infamous "Y2K" problem?
Well, the Sweepstakes contest has it's own version of that issue, and will
probably have to go to 4-digit CK's next year, or at least W1MX (with a
100-year-old CK of "09") will need to.
