Skippy72 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 03/24/2019 6:06 pm Good Sunday evening everyone. I wanted to share this with you and what appear to be a double ear .I just wanted everyone's input on it. It seems to have a third lobe looping down from the second lobe but I cannot focus in to show it. Here are a few pictures and I will go with what you all have to say about it and I thank you in advance... Report this Post to the Staff

Skippy72 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 03/24/2019 6:47 pm I thought that much as well but there is not a single mark that would make me lean towards that but I just thought I would throw it out there and see what you all thought and I will go with a hit I guess....

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 03/24/2019 6:52 pm Skippy, I have seen almost the exact same mark on different years on the lobe area. I think the reason we see this so much in that area is because it is the highest point on the cent. Report this Post to the Staff

On something doubled it would be raised, not a reduction of a normal device. Here are a few doubled ears. Click to enlarge the images. Report this Post to the Staff
