bbranhma5001 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 02/04/2020 2:08 pm I made a mistake about the D mint but I don't understand how come it's not a Double Ear? Is that part of his beard or something? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/04/2020 6:39 pm Compare it with another cent that year. You will see the the lobe is the same size, but a contact mark (damage) to that area altered a normal coin. What makes a doubled ear? Not contact. It is on the die. All the doubled ears are raised, not incuse. The incuse mark on the die will leave a raised lobe area on the coins. Want to know why that is true? Look at several of them together: Enlarge this page and you will see that they are raised. Report this Post to the Staff
