Dearborn Moderator United States 97760 Posts	Posted 06/15/2022 1:59 pm That looks like the tip just took a hit to me. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Garbanzo Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 06/15/2022 2:07 pm I don't think that you are seeing what I am. I mean the whole ear not just the tip. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19219 Posts	Posted 06/15/2022 3:46 pm I'm thinking it's a well-placed hit received early in the coin's life--then worn through circulation. Edited by ijn1944 06/15/2022 5:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Garbanzo Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 06/15/2022 5:08 pm What I'm seeing is another whole ear totally to the south west of the original one. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97760 Posts	Posted 06/15/2022 6:23 pm You mean this? I cannot think of anyway that, that could be a second ear so far away. Pareidolia is what I think it is.

Garbanzo Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 06/15/2022 7:00 pm I see what you are saying. You probably are right. But you must agree that if you look at the first picture that it is an easy mistake to make. Report this Post to the Staff

Garbanzo Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 06/16/2022 12:11 pm Call me crazy but the more that I look at it the more I see another ear, lobe and all. Report this Post to the Staff
Garbanzo Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 06/16/2022 12:18 pm More pronounced in the very first picture of the whole coin. Report this Post to the Staff
