Dearborn Moderator United States 95644 Posts	Posted 06/19/2022 4:33 pm Can you get us a close-up of the ear please? so far it just looks like a circulation hit. Too bad about that fingerprint on this coin.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95644 Posts	Posted 06/19/2022 4:40 pm if you look at PCGS: https://www.PCGS.com/auctionprices/...405217152906 You can see the doubled earlobe is much more well defined and lower than the main lobe.

I wouldn't vall it clearly defined but you're probably right as to it being damage. Definitely made me question it lol. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 06/19/2022 4:59 pm I'm no @john1, but with that really nice close-up you just added to the thread, this definitely looks like a hit to me rather than a doubled ear.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95644 Posts	Posted 06/20/2022 08:07 am Thanks for reference of what to look for John, However the OP's coin is not it, just damage for certain after seeing the close-up Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/20/2022 12:50 pm Same mark is seeing on the side burns as well. Just a contact mark. A doubled ear will be from the hub creation process that is made on the die. This is a normal coin with damage. Often we see something like this that is Machine Doubling, the follows the contour of the ear. But only a doubled die is created on a hub "doubled die". Report this Post to the Staff
