Hello I know this is not the Double Ear Variety that most people look for with 1997 pennies, but what exactly is near his ear? Not sure if it is just a stray piece of metal, or something else? Thanks for Looking!
Looks like a small Die Break/Crack Nothing major The correct terminology is Doubled ear.. Not double ear Here are many examples
I also noticed that 2002 P has a dropped ear lobe which I do not see. Not sure about which class it falls under. WDDO-001 Best of Variety.
