This 40 year coin popped in a pile of 70's and it's in very fine condition. Closer review showed an second ear lobe, but there is no ear lobe variety on coppercoins.com.

There is no damage on this coin

I compared it two other fine coin and this lobe is definitely unique. Maybe some keenly placed gas bubble?

It is flat shelf like and is machine doubling/coin contact. Not a doubled ear.
