Hinkle Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I think I possibly found a double ear. I could be wrong, but sure looks like one. Any suggestions on this coin if maybe a die crack or something I'm not seeing. Interesting and pretty cool to find this. Thanks Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably just a die crack going around the earlobe. But also looks like doubling. Like I said I might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SALV1966 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Looks like a normal ear to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods020 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Is this what you are calling a doubled ear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I opened 2 rolls of 57s and that one stood out. Don't know if it's a die crack or doubling. Couldn't find another one like it. Still trying to research but not really coming up with anything. It might be die deterioration or somewhat pushed over to the right. Idk, don't want to give up on this one, but I'm running into dead ends.

RWB Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 It could also be a slight touch-up from an engraving tool -- done to strengthen the ear. (Compare to similar but bolder touch-up on 1936-42 proofs, Pilgrim halves, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
