Not sure, but with that much cancer, the coin may not survive anyway.

Nice job spotting what does look like an extra finger below the spine of the book and searching through all of the listings! There are so many listings for these that I don't think they are adding any new ones. Like Will said, unfortunately the coin does have a lot of damage so it would be difficult to know for sure. But, hang onto it... you never know... you may find a better example of it later on!

Yes, difficult to tell and yes, although in bad shape it maybe useful to identify others similar in better shape. I just started to study the dds for the FYs and this coin surfaced as is. Bad luck with this one I guess.
Thanks,

The others are right about the condition being to bad to really tell but I don't think it's Wexlers 060. It may just be an area that's not toned like the rest of the coin and stands out. If I were taking a stab at it, I would say Wexler's 009 was closer. It crosses with cc's 015 and cc's shows markers. Check the markers out. cc's link (http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/d...&die_state=mds)

Thanks Jon, Wexler's 060 was the closest I could get; but I knew it wasn't. You definitely have chosen a better closest one with the cc's 015. I checked the markers and unfortunately I don't think any of them are in my coin...

Sorry for the delay, it was late last night... I also thought that could be the case (a stained area); so I took a second look with an angled light to emphasize the raised parts... The anomaly is raised, so I would think it's a doubled finger. The coin is in bad shape Jon, as mentioned by all ( Willbrooks, Viv, you, and me); but that's the one I found (bad luck) with the anomaly and I'm studying the FY DDs so its an example I have at hand (actually the first one I looked at). I can still take pictures of it for comparison with others in better shape I may find. I'll follow Viv's advise and hold on to it.
Yes I checked for the markers. I don't think any of the markers shown are present in my coin. You can check the pics on post #6 for comparison with those showing the markers for 015. Question is: could it be the same DDR before the markers appear on the die????? I don't know if that's possible for all the markers shown????????

If you have an earlier die stage than the listed coin you may or may not have any of the markers shown... In this case CCs sample of 015 is MDS and your coin may not have any of the listed markers... When abrasions or die dots are on a coin they may or may not make it from an earlier die stage to a later die stage... Abrasions and die dots can be polished or worn away... I am not sure if your coin is a match to CCs 015???
