Coinar New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 06/23/2018 8:09 pm I was wondering is this is a double ear on Lincoln as it is sometimes found on the 1997 coins. Looks kinda different than a doubling would. What do you guys think? I also inserted a photo of a normal Lincoln 1997 cent to compare the two. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

That's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). The ear took a well placed hit, causing the metal to get pushed over and flattened. Errers and Varietys.

This makes me wonder unto another question: can collectors be as interested in a damaged coin as much as an error coin if the looks unique like this? Thank you again. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74811 Posts	Posted 06/23/2018 8:46 pm You're very welcome and no problem! If you go on ebay and see damaged coins, they often attract (not so smart) bidders and they'll bid on them for crazy money. Although, I wouldn't suggest doing that, because you might get nasty feedback or have an ebay case opened up. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
