amac44 Member United States 3242 Posts	Posted 01/27/2007 09:40 am I went the bank yesterday and when I got home I check out my change and this what I found. I looks to me like there was an extra ear lob or just copper left on coin before it went in to circulation. But I am no expert, lets let the experts Tell me what this coin is?

gusp Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 01/30/2007 11:19 am I would also guess the family of die chips, although this actually looks to me like a die gouge. Cool coin. G.L. Gusp Report this Post to the Staff
amac44 Member United States 3242 Posts	Posted 01/30/2007 11:25 am I don't think that it looks like a piece of copper was left when it was minted and just bent over as it was used. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/30/2007 1:14 pm If anything it's either a die gouge or a die crack. It's not a doubled die either way. The 1997 doubled ear is a doubled die which is what makes it valuable. Report this Post to the Staff
