1982 penny second ear lobe?

Hi
Came across this 1982 penny. Shows what appears to be a second ear lobe. Any suggestions as to what caused this. Sorry about the scans but don'thave access to a camera.On the scan underneath the ear lobe where you see the white outline is where the second ear lobe appears, I compared it to another 1982 penny and there is definetly something there. Any info would be appreciated

Here is a negative of the penny. It shows a little better as to what i am trying to describe. Thanks

 

Disregard, it actually is part of the ear lobe. Sorry about that.

 

I see what you're talking about but it could be machine doubling. You might search to see if there is a doubled ear known for that year.

 

Nope, just part of the design. No doubling. Sorry.

 

I was told that somehow the bottom portion of the lobe was split somehow and pushed away from the lobe if that makes any sense. Under a loupe you can see where there is a second portion there just below the original ear lobe if that makes any sense

 

Well, it may be a bag mark or scratch then.

 

I respect everyones opinion and i am not a collector nor a expert but there definitely is a second lobe there by whatever means. Maybe i can get access to a camera and post better pictures. Appreciate everyones opinion Thanks

 

That's very possible. What ever it is is raised to the same height as the lobe. Not a big deal was just curious about it when i saw it and had no clue what so ever as to what it was, just curious that's all. Thanks

 

That can't be a doubled ear lobe. It is actually very common to find in circulation, in fact.
Here is what a doubled ear lobe looks like:

 

I understand that they refer to that as a double ear. I was just curious as to the double lobe of the ear. I do understand what you are saying however.

 

I should of said the bottom portion of the lobe and i was unaware that it was common. Thanks for the info and i shall move on.

 

1982 D doubled ear

OK new here, not certain if this is the right formatt so here goes- i am the finder for the 1982 d doubled ear, please go to CONECA and look under the master listing and look for Charles Chatham, you will there is population of 8, i have all eight, well except your find, you can write me at sluggo4787@hotmail.com or sluggo4787@juno.com UPDATE, I THOUGHT YOURS WAS A Denver Mint Mark, the original link said 1982 D DOUBLED EAR, anyway, if anyone knows of any doubled ear 1982 d doubled ear cents i would love to hear about it. chuck

 

it may be a bubble in the plating? anythings possible..

Cody, the coin was slabbed by ANACS and labled doubled ear-matter fact all eight coins were slabbed and all of them were labled doubled ear, take a look at CONECA it to is coin club and again before you re comment take a look at there masster listing, inparticlar 1982 d with charles chatham given credit for first find- chuck

 

i was talking about the OP's coin. I dont doubt that you have the only 8 known 82d doubled ears. his is a p mint however and I was just stating that it is possible that it may be a lamination bubble on the OP's coin not yours.

I have a 1982 zinc that has the bottom part of ear almost split. I know what your talking about but I don’t think it’s anything special.

 

I understand what you gentlemen and talking about. I've been going through all my 1982 d and p and I wasn't sure about the double ear so here's what I found. hope you don't mind me stepping on your toes.

 

The last two posts were 11 years (post #16) and 2 years ago(#17). I don't see anything to suggest doubling of the ear on your example
