NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 979 Posts	Posted 07/07/2024 4:02 pm I don't come here looking for opinions with the easy one's. Found this 1974 D recently. It is a high AU that was well struck with a reasonably new die. There are no DDO's with doubled ears listed on Wex, CC or VV. Doesn't look like MD the edges are smooth and curved, no shelving. Also, doesn't look like a hit. The bottom of the doubled ear lobe tapers and folds under the ear lobe in the close ups. For comparison purposes the last image is one of the similar doubled ears on several several State Quarters. Interesting coin. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

I'm not confident saying either DD or something else. This one should go to Dan Griffin once we reopen submissions if you're interested in trying to get this one listed. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 07/07/2024 7:19 pm Just my opinion here but it doesn't look like true doubling to me. I'm not sure what it is but it does remind me of something I would see on a zinc core cent though I know it is not. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."
