CentHunterJ Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 04/07/2021 12:40 am Hey Guys. Good and bad news today. My dad left one of my coin books outside the car somewhere... Won't be seeing those ever again. But the good news is, I already had half a roll of pennies in my pocket when I got the news. And in that roll, I got this. . It's got the other main markers too. I just can't get the photos. Report this Post to the Staff

CentHunterJ Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 04/07/2021 06:26 am Here are 3 Screenshots taken directly of the PCGS Coin zFacts App of the only 3 PCGS has verified. One Brown, one Red/Brown, and one Red. I agree that the super pronounced ear is the ideal specimen of the variety, but 2 out of the 3 are pretty mild. But, still recognized by PCGS.

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 04/07/2021 07:27 am I would not discount the op's coin without better photos. There seems to be a hint of the doubled ear in the correct place. As far as the PCGS coins shown above are concerned, the brown specimen is actually the discovery coin and is the plate coin for Variety Vista, Coppercoins, and Wexler. The RedBrown specimen was actually posted in a thread here on the community http://goccf.com/t/339329&SearchTerms=1988,ddo It appears lighting plays large part in how well the doubling shows in a photograph.
