I have this 1997 Lincoln Cent with a bunch of stuff going on but the ear is the most intriguing. Any idea how this happened or what it is? I posted on the "coin chat" forum but figured this would be the better place. I used two different light directions and still, the ear lobe looks missing with a straight line to the back of the ear. Here is the link if you want to see a comparison coin. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/interesting-finds-for-the-curious.314033/
Well, the only thing that seems to come close is a DD ear variety so I'll just sent it to Wexlers and se what they tell me.
