    I've been looking at so many coins lately, I'm afraid I might be seeing things. The earlobe looks abnormal to me.

    Looks good to me. I'd say nice find, and well done with the close up.

    This looks good. I'm tryimng to recall if this looks like the only one that was given a cherrypickers #FS-101

    i forgot to get a picture of it. Here is the link of my information http://www.lincolncentresource.net/forums/showthread.php?t=15946&highlight=1988
    if yah can compare it to the other found. I think yours could be 2nd one found and this would be important because no others have been that i recall. I'll mention it on LCR and see what they say also . Snowman

    I'm thinking it's a well placed hit or maybe a tint die chip. I can't see it as a DDO.

    After doing some research, the usual years to find the double ear error are 1984 and 1997. Yours looks like it could be the 1997 version, the 84 ear lobe comes down way lower and you can see the separation.

    The 1988 FS-101 looks nothing like this coin.

    If you can determine that it's not a nick it might be worth submitting.

    that is not a doubled ear and probably just a hit.
