I dont see it.

 

Double ear? I thought everyone had two ears.

OK I know you have sharp eyes. Lets see if you notice a difference between the ear area from this normal 2006

 

Normal? What is normal? There were 4.2 billion of the Philly cents struck. How many do you think were produced by each die pair before the dies started showing signs of wear? 100,000? Higher? Lower?

I still don't see any doubling.

Rick, I still have to disagree, and I really get sick and tired of the "professionals" who authenticate doubling that is so miniscule. It's a waste of time when you need a higher power magnification to see them.

Nice photos Tomfiggy.Thanks for that link Richard!

 

I have to agree with you on that one .
The professionals will charge at least 5 bucks a coin plus shipping and most DDOs & DDRs are under 20 dollars in value ...

 

still not seeing it...

 

whats the little flap called again? the one you can push your ear closed with.

 

So they're the bad guys for not doing it cheaper, and because the coins that collectors choose to send them are of low value? Should they do it for free when the variety is minor, and therefore almost always takes more of an effort to attribute, so that every other schmo can send off piles of questionable coins instead of being somewhat selective? Regardless of if one agrees with what they do, their services are an absolute bargain. In most areas of life, an accepted expert's opinion doesn't come anywhere near as cheap. Hell, even with coins, look at what PCGS charges to label varieties much, much easier to attribute.

 

I'm with you - I don't see it either. Edit some arrows into the pic where you think you are seeing something.

 

I agree with the pay, ever man should get paid for his time, but on the other hand, they set the value of what the coins are worth .

Its a 2 way sword .......

 

Thats the issue here, ever image is different, same coin too, the key here is to match the exact look of the error from the site .

Heres the closes one out of them Light is playing a big issue .

 

I hate to do it, Rick, but there's more than lighting playing an issue here....

You're arrowed example is, unfortunately, not "the same coin too", but is the OP's example of an everyday 2006.

 

Thanks for the arrows but if you gotta get that close to even try to see something then what good is it? When I coin search under my scope I see MD in one view but then move it to another lighted view and it is no longer there.

 

"same coin too" = same coin the OP pictured?

 

I can't argue that .
Not my coin to have to take images of .
I've learn a lot about matching images when I'm taking them, to what the coin look like in hand .

Heres an images I took early in the day .
Image look the same as the coin in hand, clash matches perfectly .

 

The quote was Rick's, and yes.. the coin he reposted is one of two the OP provided, but was his example of a "normal" 2006 (posted for comparison) and not the one displaying the questioned "doubled ear".
