Curveball Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 09/20/2023 11:59 pm I think this a doubled ear. I was checking a roll I purchased from my local bank this afternoon on my way home from work and I found 7 in the roll which I believe could be possible double ears. After I checked the roll I went back over these which I had put aside upon further inspection all have the same die dots in a row on the middle of the vest towards the date so I'm thinking all 7 came from the same die. The doubling is on the bottom of the ear lobe. What does the community think. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73932 Posts	Posted 09/21/2023 12:02 am It might be a doubled earlobe, can't tell for sure. Your coin is also showing the Orange Peel effect, which means that the die was worn, when it struck your coin. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Curveball Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 09/21/2023 12:21 am I noticed that also @Errers and varietys I believe the die is worn. U can see how all the details on the ear are mostly gone from wear and flat but in the bottom of the ear lobe there's something popping out at you it's not consistent with the rest of the details.I'm still learning so let me ask this if the die is worn wouldn't all the details on the ear be consistent and be worn from the top to the bottom of the ear?

Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 09/21/2023 6:45 pm interesting ear - most of it is worn or very weak, with exception of the lobe. That die was very old and should have been replaced long before this strike. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Curveball Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 09/21/2023 9:26 pm Putting the pieces together maybe it's a worn die that's showing Strike Doubling on the ear lobe.i wouldn't have even posted this coin but what threw me I found 7 or 8 that all looked to show some of doubling on the ear as I was searching. The one I posted is the strongest of them also. After checking them closer again as I always do I kept noticing those die dots so I figured they coming from the same die. Ill take them out one day and recheck them and try to take a pic again. I don't feel like fooling with that right now. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
