Vivian410 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 9:39 pm Hello everyone! So, today I found a 1957-d Lincoln Wheat cent that had a double earlobe! It is my first double earlobe find, so I am pretty excited about it. And to top it off the coin is in really good condition! Report this Post to the Staff

I am hoping that Pareidolia isn't playing tricks on me. Pareidolia got me, lol. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 09/20/2019 11:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4398 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 11:17 pm I don't see anything on this one. You might just be seeing glare from the lighting, it can make a sort of optical illusion when the lighting is too harsh. Report this Post to the Staff
Vivian410 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 11:51 pm Really? I turned the light down and it is still there and I found a couple more in the same roll that had it. After I read your comment I went and got another 1957-d I had but it doesn't have it. Could it just be some slight Machine Doubling or something? But shadows are really good at playing tricks on you too. You guys know a lot more than me though and I trust what you guys say... Oh, well back to the drawing board. lol At least it is still a pretty coin! Edited by Vivian410 09/20/2019 11:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4398 Posts	Posted 09/21/2019 12:06 am Only use one light source, and wrap tissue paper around it to diffuse the light. It takes some experimenting and messing around but eventually you can jerry-rig a good setup. Slight MD is definitely possible but hard to say for sure with the bright light.
