    Thanks, CONECA DDR 057? Not sure what that is -- don't has a cross ref for it. Is that the only example he lists?

    I believe this the 3rd edition, April 2011.

    they list an "extra whiskers" variety (minor) and a doubled obverse. this has liberty with very thick shifted doubling on LIBERT, strongest on ERTY. hth

    Yes, I have 1st. and 2nd. editions. Very informative for the money. Ken Potter, is Great! I heard he has a hand in the new Cherrypicker's guide,also. I love the 2009 Bicentennial series, of Lincoln. I love the many varieties. Here's one more guy hopes this series will catch on fire!

    Thanks - I find this variety an odd choice to illustrate in this publication when there are much more visual varieties...the basic 6th finger (wddr-001) is the classic strike and more "common" to find in your pocket.

    At the bottom of the pic in the link, you can see that there is more than one 2009 DDR listed in that book.

    I would suspect that the book has at least the same DDRs that Potter has on his website.
