RayzorAIM New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 09/04/2025 3:25 pm Good afternoon, Found this 1974 Lincoln Cent in my loose change. To my untrained eye, it looks like there is some sort of doubling of the earlobe. Appreciate the community's opinion regarding this inquiry. Cheers! Report this Post to the Staff
