Here are some Doubled Ear images: In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Edited by spru 01/06/2019 03:20 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/06/2019 07:35 am Note on the doubled ear examples, the doubling is extra for the ear. Not just a contact mark on that device. The same mark on any other area of coin would just be a contact mark. When a contact mark happens on an ear, it's still a contact mark. Take a closer look on the images and see what is really going on with a doubled ear lobe. Don't just look for an incuse mark on the ear lobe. Report this Post to the Staff
