New Find ... 2009 DDR Lincoln Cent New Variation

Well thank you very much spruett001. But just as a heads up . Before I make any post . I first do lots of research on the different variations of doubled dies and Machine Doubling first. And then when I cant find any that are similar
MD like this one I
then share them with all my CC experts in hopes of finding similar finds . None of which I've found so far unfortunately. Such as the triple MD ?

Hardfind80:

Cool your jets fella. We all here try to help to the best of our abilities, sometimes that is quite difficult not having coin in fist. The chances of finding a new variety of a known coin that has numerous KNOWN DDO / DDR after 5 years is quite slim, although never is it impossible.

That being said, I have been giving your coin a three and four time go over. I think I see why you may say "new variety" based on this one and only point, there is an "odd" gap between the index and middle fingers that hasn't happened (been formed) by either a random hit OR by MD. I do see indications of hit damage as circled in YELLOW, the fingertip has been smashed, size is close to coin rim size. Circled in BLUE is what appears to be either Master Die Hub doubling or MD, and doesn't matter in this discussion. The two RED circles are the big question. #1 could very well be a DDR, I have seen those as a doubled index finger as listed in Coppercoins. #2 is an "I don't know". I "think" it has been damaged by whatever hit the fingertip, pushing the metal "downward". This also may have caused the gap between fingers I find odd.

Final analysis: You may well have an already listed DDR, but your coin has received damage that will make it un attributable. If you want a 2009P DDR, I'll mail you one.

If you're still not convinced, wait to see if Coop shows up and what he says, then go from there.

Sorry ,not a DDR, the areas within your yellow and blue circles are damaged areas where the coin got hit by other coins!

Hard finds, don't get nasty and hasty to judge us here, some of us have been doing this for quite some time, we aren't iddgits. I'm one who tries to see all possibilities, but I'm also a realist. If something isn't so, no hoping to see it another way won't make it so. Don't know if you use Coppercoins.com as a reference, found them much better for the "finger" DDR. I still think you have a known variety, it could be 2009-1dr-036 or its corresponding 2009-1dr-074. Or even 2009-1dr-054. All have further points of attribution elsewhere on the coin for accurate ID, why I prefer here than wexlers or VV. Get in touch with John Wexler by email, send him your pix before submitting coin for his assessment. Costs $5 or $6 to submit, I just did this with one I swore was a DDO, looked just like example pix but just enough odd, wound up being MD after all.

Hardfinds, I've been looking at several of your posts. The people on this forum enjoy collecting for the fun and challenge involved. They take their time to help those of us who aren't as educated about variations, grading and minting anomalies.

I see a definite pattern of baiting in your posts and I'm becoming convinced that you are having a good laugh at the forums expense. Either you are an experienced collector who is having fun or you are a newbie who just can't accept the knowledge being espoused here. Either way, it's fun watching you work. But it will eventually just get old. Add value to the group.

P.s. Oh and by the way ... Yes bump111 I do stay having fun in the C.C. because nothing anyone ever says in these post can ever affect my day to that degree unless it's something positive or something thats very helpful to me especially the little things like telling me that I don't have a DD or some other form of rare coin . Infact even if I didn't have a DD or a rare coin then I really would not care either way because it's not that serious plus it's a little 3rd grade . Infact to me it seems like alot of times for certain individuals its actually the other way around because some of their replies are clearly a little childish and not encouraging like they're wishing it isn't the big one ... Lol . And granted that may not go for everyone on here but there are a few on here who know who they are . And I'm just being real .

Hardfind I was just reading all of these, very sad you need to respond in such a way when
all these people are just trying to help you. I too have submitted many coins over the years and haven't always heard what I would of like to have heard, but I do trust In What everyone tells me because they know what they're talking about. If I knew for sure I wouldn't be asking for opinions, but I'm learning every time I come in here.

Why come in here if you can't have an open mind about other people's knowledge? Anyway I'm going to sleep just had to share
my thoughts, not about your coin, but treat people the way you want them to treat you.

Goodnight and sorry about all the typos.
