Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73706 Posts	Posted 01/04/2026 12:01 pm The ear is there. It could be from a Weak Strike, causing the ear to not strike up fully. Just a normal cent otherwise. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 01/04/2026 12:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1656 Posts	Posted 01/05/2026 03:59 am Hard to say with that gouge there, but might have just been weakly struck to begin with, or the damage just obliterated it. Edited by lcutler 01/05/2026 04:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94810 Posts	Posted 01/05/2026 06:49 am I'm thinking that it is a big circulation hit, but I'm not seeing any relocated metal, or corresponding damage to the reverse side. It could be a struck through, But I 'think' that I can see the outline of the ear in the depression - which would rule out a struck through. I just wish the image was much better and not so pixelated. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
