Hi, tooboocoo. To me, it looks like the earlobe took a hit which pushed the top layer inward/towards the cheek leaving underneath the original sized earlobe and that simulated like a split serif/doubled ear.
Have you by chance looked at the example they have on variety vistas site they resemble each other an awful lot it's a long shot being g nicked in the same spot as the doubled ear lobe but I guess possible in some strange way thanks for looking
The mintmark shape is nothing like the DDO-001: http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...2DDDO001.htm The punch was damage on the lower 1/3 on the Upright of the 'D' on the 001. The OP's coin is not distorted there.
with sosi and coop. They have both given you wise advice, even though it's not what you wanted to hear. It takes a while to learn, but it does get easier as you go along.
