What's your thoughts guys? Thank you!! Took out the image with the arrows. Please focus in the bottom of the ear with this one gigi2110 Edited by gigi2110 08/09/2024 10:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8750 Posts	Posted 08/09/2024 9:25 pm The shape at the very bottom looks similar to the doubled ears but the rest is a dead giveaway of plating issues, which is more than likely what all of it is. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
gigi2110 Pillar of the Community United States 1770 Posts	Posted 08/09/2024 9:43 pm Thank you @makecents! Yes I thought the same, because last night when I was searching at doubleddie.com I saw anothers cents with the same issue in that part. But I already had the photos edited with the arrows so I uploaded it like that. gigi2110 Report this Post to the Staff

gigi2110 Pillar of the Community United States 1770 Posts	Posted 08/09/2024 10:12 pm Thank you @Dearborn, but what you can see in the bottom of the ear look different to the plating issue. Not sure but look very similar to a small doubled earlobe, please look at it again. gigi2110 Report this Post to the Staff
