1997 penny. possible a new doubled ear?

i have weighed the though that i could be a well placed die crack. it seems pretty thick for a cracked die, and its convenient location messes with me. it appears to be the same thickness as the outer ear. opinions? thank you

It could be a large die chip or its just apart of the design.

 

It's definitely not part of the design. I already compared it to another example

 

Looks like a die chip .

 

Can you tell if it is a small lamination of the copper foil? Likely not but about the only remaining possibility. Jim

 

It does not resemble elimination to me, but I do not know what a lamination of the copper foil would look like. Honestly I've never heard of that until now
