Exrider New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 03/30/2023 4:21 pm Thanks John1. I did check them out, and I do think it might be one. However, I am such a newbie I really don't know for sure. Do you think it is? Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 03/30/2023 4:56 pm Would need much clearer pictures of ear lobe area. There is a Variety Vista DDO 008 earlobe variety, maybe compare to that one. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/30/2023 5:14 pm I do not think your coin is a doubled ear. You might want to improve your photos a bit also. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 03/30/2023 11:53 pm The 1984 Doubled Die obverse Lincoln Cent is considered a major variety in the Lincoln Cent series, as the doubling can be easily seen with the naked eye. Variety Attribution: The doubling is mostly evident on Abraham Lincoln's ear towards the South. Also, his beard and bowtie are strongly doubled towards the South. The variety was discovered in the same year in which the coins were struck. There are possibly several thousand examples in existence in all grades combined. Also on page 93 of strike it rich with pocket change 5th edition book as well. Does not appear this coin has a doubled ear so far.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/31/2023 11:30 am Keep in mind that the ear lobe will be separate and there will also be a showing of a spread on the beard. Report this Post to the Staff
