    This seems different from the one listed in Ken Potter's book ("Strike it Rich with Pocket Change"). He attributes his as:
    CONECA: DDR-057
    Wexler: WDDR-057
    Potter: VCR#7/DDR#7

    But the extra index finger on his is much closer to the real index finger than mine. Is that significant or is mine just a slight variation? Thanks.

    I could not tell you which without looking, but that's not WDDR-057.

    There is much better info available free online than is contained within that shamefully titled book.

    Thanks.

    What would you all grade it at?

    Thanks for the link. Wow. Almost too much information on the 2009 Lincoln!

    Almost nothing... that's just the LP2-P reverse. The genuine 09 1C varieties - LP1-LP4 PDS obv/rev - not to mention the nonsense ones offered (or at least used to be) on ebay are too much. :confused:

    I cannot say what the grade may be, but it looks decent even though it does have the very common 09 spotting issues. Value-wise, don't put much weight in estimates listed on Wexler's or other similar sites; instead look into how much people are actually paying. Overall it's a fantastic site though.

    BTW... while Ken is probably correct about the variety, there was another quite similar in appearance, so you may want to verify just to be sure. I forget the number of the similar variety, but think it is somewhere in the WDDR-50 to 70 range.

    I was pretty confident it was the DDR-001, if that helps at all...

    I, too, am curious how one would handle those spots from '09 (and how they would affect the grade), as I have plenty of BU coins that look like they've been through a sprinkler.
