mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 01/26/2009 12:02 am Hi all. What's behind Lincoln's ear? It's not a plating bubble. Kinda looks like the 2006 DDO. Die chip, or something else. Thanks, Mike Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/26/2009 09:26 am IMHO I don't think this coin is the famous 1984 double ear,it looks like a gas bubble to me. John1 P.S. look at my avatar. Edited by John1 01/26/2009 09:27 am Report this Post to the Staff
GoBotRocker New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 01/26/2009 12:09 pm I gotta agree with John1 that it's not the traditional 84 Doubled Ear. Having said that, it would have stopped me in my tracks that some "Coin God" had precisely placed "something" by the ear to taunt the collector that finds it. I agree, it also reminds me of the 00, 01, 02 and 06 with the extra ear lobes. Whether it is a die chip or something else, I dont know for sure. But if I found it, it'd have a special place in my finds box. I think it's a nice looking coin. Happy Hunting Scott Report this Post to the Staff

mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 01/26/2009 5:29 pm Hi. There is a small hump behind the ear. It looks like the die was repaired, because of all the die scratches. Maybe the die was damaged at that time leaving the indentation. Just guessing? But it just didn't look normal. Mike Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/27/2009 8:16 pm With the die scratches on the area around the head, it appears that part of the devices are flattened by cleanings. When viewing a normal Cent from that year and mint, the bump is just part of the design. Report this Post to the Staff
