CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 07/20/2017 1:37 pm Okay, guys. I know we get HUNDREDS of the doubled ear threads. I know 99.999% of them turn out to not be one. My hopes are low for this coin, admittedly. However, I am posting this to gather opinions on the possibility of this coin being a doubled ear to the south. I first picked this coin out because of a nice die clash event, then noticed the abnormality of the ear. Please, give me any and all opinions of the coin. Thanks all! Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/20/2017 1:45 pm Does not look like a doubled ear to me. Maybe a die chip/gouge or a hit. Leaning towards die chip/gouge. John1 Edited by John1 07/20/2017 1:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 4:37 pm I looked at the overlays, but nothing would make sense here. I'm going to send it off to Mr. Wexler soon, just to get a look. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 7:21 pm I would send him the image. He could tell you what it is from the image. (die chip) Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 11:32 pm I sent him the images. He said he wanted it in hand to give a determination. Also, I wouldn't think it'd be a die chip. It doesn't have the right look about it. Looks more like a possible gouge or a die event other than chipping or breakage.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74592 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 11:45 pm I will be here and excited for the results. I am very interested in what John A. Wexler says. If you wanted to, you can send any unlisted Doubled Dies or Doubled Dies where you don't know what number it is with this coin. It's up to you though, not me. Errers and Varietys.
