 Please take pictures straight on and properly rotated. Like E&V stated, ear took a hit.

Yes, ear appears to have suffered a hit. Obverse surface has character.

I appreciate all of your responses, thank you for the warm welcome as well. However, I respectfully disagree. Reason being... well it's easier if I just show you with some photos. Red lines indicate the various ears I see on this penny White lines are the corresponding jaw lines of Lincoln. Please correct me if I'm wrong.      |

Jimmy D... well alrighty then. I cannot help but laugh at that. I couldn't get upset even if I wanted to.
You answer precisely, as I asked. I suppose I forgot to include asking, "if you do think I'm wrong please tell me why." I will try to do better next time. First-timer here on this forum posting. I don't know though, I thought that this particular site has other posters that are pretty insightful and helpful. Please, share your thoughts as to why you have, stood and, "corrected me wrong?" I Would love to know your thoughts.

I see it plain as day. Multiple of Lincoln's,( (four+) earlobes/ears and jaws intersect with each other at their perspective points. ie., Where the bottom of the ear or earlobe meets Lincolns jawline jaw line. I can't be the only one seeing this!

Sure, glad to give you an explanation now that you ask.
You are seeing something that isn't there.
There is no way what you are describing could happen
during the striking of the coin. If the coin was struck more
than once, then it would show on the entire coin, not just
In one particular area. Suggest reading up on how coins
are minted and you would see that this is impossible.
This would increase your knowledge on what is and is
not possible to happen when a coin is struck.

Coinsavy... here is a link to an older post containing some information that may help you find more information on the minting process as JimmyD pointed out: https://goccf.com/t/448063

Here's another thing to consider: this coin appears to have so many plating blisters, that it's very easy to see things which are blisters, not any sort of doubling, etc. I am fairly new to collecting, but have had several pennies which I was SURE had errors that no one else could see. However, I ultimately decided that those coins did in fact just have PMD and blisters. My suggestion: put the coin away for a while, then look again later. I've done this with many coins - as I learn more, I am able to see where I was originally wrong. |

to CCF. I see I'm late to the party. But I would have to agree with the comments posted above. I see circulation hits (on the ear mainly) and other spots, also the plating on this cent is far from ideal and pristine - that can cause the casual observer to see something that simply is not there ir impossible to be there without it being in other locations as well.

Are you familiar with the sites Varietyvista and Coppercoins.com ? Check them out and compare your coin to what they have listed....good luck on future finds, have fun and keep asking when needed....Oh and also ................ to CCF |

Okay, okay, I can relate to several of these replies. Thank you so much and I am second guessing myself now... Not only because of what a lot of you have said but also because I do know the way the mind works and that is what makes me second guess myself most. Like one commenter mentioned. I too don't understand how the whole other coin can be perfect everywhere else but middle. I'm thinking it is because there's so much pressure there in that area that would be why it would split and have plating blisters and such that makes a lot of sense. But I am going to put the coin up and look at it later laughing but very very serious. The only way we would really ever know for sure is if I sent it in to get it graded. Thank you guys :)

 Just keep looking, reading, and learning! I have gained an immeasurable amount of knowledge in my short time collecting, by looking at as many posts, comments, and suggested websites, as possible here. Definitely seems somewhat overwhelming at times - but when things start to click, and that can take a while for me, sometimes  - then it starts becoming more and more fun!
