Hello, I found a 1986 d penny that seems to have an extra ear lobe and is a brass color instead of the normal copper color. On the other side of the coin the letters r and n have a bulge in them. Is this a common error or something special. Thank you for your help.
The ear took a hit giving it the appearence of doubling. As for the color, that is just natural toning. The early zincolns seem to get a lttle more orange than more modern struck cents.
