Hey guys. Found a weird looking penny. His ear looks funny to me, and his face doesn't have much detail. Is that because it's worn? Thanks for any and all help.

It appears genuine to me. It could have been minted with a dirty die and lost some details on Lincoln's profile.
I don't see anything that would suggest it was made with a doubled die.
If counterfeiters are going to go through the work of making a fake coin, they will usually decide on one that is rare or otherwise valuable. I can't imagine anyone making common date Lincolns cents for a profit.

Majorly worn. Although, look on the bright side: a coin grader would most likely give it an official grade of VG for "very good". We try to be optimistic!

I can't add much beyond what cwb has said, except if it looks like it has a double 1 like it does in the picture, it's what we call Strike Doubling or Machine Doubling where there's a sort of "hiccup" when the two dies slam together. It's fairly common and doesn't add any value.
