Cud Wild Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 03/16/2011 12:26 am When I first looked at this coin I thought die chip then when I observed more it looked like an extension of hair running over Lincolns ear. Then when I looked more the whole ear doesn't look right. Let me know what you think thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

There is no evidence of a doubled die or even a die chip that I can see. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
Cud Wild Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 03/16/2011 12:44 am I guess the picture made it look indented. Naw the coin is not indented at all. The second picture is probably the best example. You can see before it even gets to the ear its thicker. His whole bottom earlobe is thicker too. I dont know why the picture makes the ear look indented like that though. I think its the shadowing. Report this Post to the Staff
