Have looked at w my loop with light off as well and seems present a certain angles but not at others. Makes me think it's just a reflection....STILL LEARNING! Thanks from a newbie....

Will wait to see what the experts think on this one. It doesn't look like the DDO that's most well known for that year, however. Report this Post to the Staff

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 09/01/2015 11:03 am Here is a look at the major Doubled Ear for 1997. William Glenn of FL found this one in 2008 while searching rolls. Read about it here: http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/1997DblEar.htm Report this Post to the Staff
rayof315 Valued Member United States 241 Posts	Posted 09/02/2015 6:30 pm Just took another look at this. True It's not the big DDO for that year, but I think the other doubling SilverStacker points out is intriguing. Telling the difference between hub doubling and Die Deterioration in a case like this is way out of my league, but I continue to find your coin interesting. I, personally, wouldn't toss this one back into circulation yet. Edited by rayof315 09/02/2015 6:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/03/2015 11:56 am The spread is notice under the lobe on the DDO. (also at the top of the ear just under the curl) I wonder if you are seeing a die crack on the area you have the arrows on? Note how it flows into the beard? Report this Post to the Staff
