Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 07/13/2022 2:03 pm looks like a normal 1985 cent to me, looks like the ear took a hit in circulation. Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/13/2022 6:49 pm Not a doubled ear. On the doubled ears, the lobes are enlarged and showing doubled lobes on this year: Report this Post to the Staff
Bill Kerr Valued Member United States 422 Posts	Posted 07/14/2022 06:50 am Guys, first I did add the wrong pics, 1985 is incorrect. Second I am aware of the look of a Double Ear penny, I was simply asking on the 1984 penny if this could possible another version of a double ear? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 07/14/2022 08:32 am Well, as for me, I would have to say no. I still think that the ear just took a hit. The entire area looks a bit flattened from circulation. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/14/2022 11:33 am Make a side by side comparison of a normal ear and your coin. You will see the ear is normal for that design. On a doubled ear the size will be enlarged. It is that way on all of them doubled ears. (Enlarge the images to see these better) Note on these, all the hub doubling is raised on the design/fields of the coins. Contact and die wear can affect normal die coins. The doubling on a doubled die is on the die itself. All the coin examples of that die will show the same spread of the doubled die on them. Note on your coin, the top part of the design is flattened from circulation. That is what you are seeing on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
