If you mean the chin and neck, it looks like machine doubling to me. This happens so often that these carry no premium.
thank you for your reply and I agree on the chin but I don't know about the ear and the date and the pictures I took were horrible and I tried to delete the post so that I can start over but it would not let me I'm in the process of taking some better pictures I do have a Kennedy half dollar with what I think is Hub doubling War Machine doubling all the reverse side it's pretty neat looking if you would like me to post a picture of that.
Thank you for your Speedy reply and I agree on the chin as well I am just trying to gain knowledge on my new hobby thank you and take care
Hello here is the Kennedy half dollar would you call this Hub doubling what is it called or deterioration on the letters and if you look it's on the ranch that the eagle is holding.
The date looks like MD to me too. I didn't notice the ear before Not sure about that, doesn't look like MD to me. The Kennedy also looks like MD.
Lol well I'm sure I don't know what war doubling is maybe I meant to say Hub doubling well anyways here is a picture of the same coin maybe you can see the earlobe better in this one.
Yeah, I'm not sure about it. Maybe create a new thread so members that might know who missed it or don't usualy reply to this kind of thread that already has 9 replies will take a look at it. Edit: 10 now
There is a doubled ear variety on Lincoln cents that looks like that. Unfortunately, the fact that there is lots of strike doubling on your coin makes me conclude that's also the case for the ear.
The 1984 Philadelphia (no mint mark) Lincoln cent has doubling on Lincoln's ear, however, it is about twice as big and strong as this. In fact, it is almost the entire bottom ear lobe. Here's a pic of it :
Now, Just because yours doesn't look that strong does it mean that it's nothing? Honestly, I don't know. Here's a website that has lots of information about doubles available. When you visit it, you can look at the index on the left and choose a topic for further study. There is a topic for coin examinations, where, for a small fee, he will examine your coin and tell you if you actually have a known variety, or even perhaps, a completely new variety. Personally, I have not sent any coins for verification, but I'm hoping he still does it. The link is : Wexler's Coins and Die Varieties
