Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 08/24/2022 9:47 pm I agree that it doesn't appear to be doubling on the ear lobe. Here is a link to the three known DDOs for this mint/year for your research @pris. Studying these should give you a good idea of what to look for, although circulation wear can obliterate some of the details. http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...201955-D.htm "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/26/2022 3:31 pm That area is probably the highest mountain on the coin. So it will be dinged the most there. Remember a doubled ear, will be raised, not incuse below the design. Check out the thread below: http://goccf.com/t/429678#3692369 Then read the comments and what to look for on doubled ears. (this might surprise you. Train your eyes what to see on a doubled earlobe) Report this Post to the Staff
