While going through my Kennedy halves I came upon this 1995 Half and it looks like the back of his ear is double. I found another 95 half and pictured it for comparison. Please let me know what the experts think as to whether this is an error or just wishful thinking. Thanks

Strange

Can you get some closer picture's? It might help.

Also, Do I see sign's of clashing on the REV to the Left (observer's left), of the wing?

Great close up,what are you using? Looks like a die clash under the ear and MD on the ear. Some of your pic the white balance looks a bit off.

I think the color is off due to my lighting. My camera is a canon SX50 HS and I love it. Thanks

John1 is correct. Here is an overlay of what happened on the die before your coin was struck:
