    Sorry, but no. It should have a clear second earlobe. PCGS has a pretty good picture of this IMO if you look in their coinfacts for 84 DDO.

    Here is couple pictures of my 84 DDO. Not the best pics in terms of color (this is a 67RD), but does show the detail. WIN_20221024_21_38_56_Pro.jpg WIN_20221024_21_38_26_Pro.jpg

    Jmon has you pointed towards Class IV doubling, but for the year of your coin, that class of doubling is no longer possible. During the single squeeze era, Class VIII doubling is the predominant class of doubling. This phenomenon is more typically found towards the center of the coin designs. So, in the ear region on the obverse and the central columns and seated Lincoln on an LMC reverse.

    The earlobe is a potential region of interest, although I don’t know of any DDOs of this nature.

    Kevin - Sorry, I didn't look at the year of the coin in question. I just immediately thought of the 1984 double ear.

    I haven’t found another 2022 penny that looks like his earlobe like this one.

    No worries, @jmon . Your post was what got me thinking about classes of doubling. That was important. Those following this thread or who find it later will hopefully be able to find something useful to leverage going forward. It took me way too long before I started to consider class of doubling when assessing a coin.

    I did a little looking and found this for 2021 (the same for 2021 D). It is an example of an 'ear' DDO for LSC's - Wexler's Coins and Die Varieties (doubleddie.com)

    Looks more like a die chip or plating anomaly to me...

    I was thinking that it seemed a little unusual that the anomaly was on both sides, but I kept in mind that it was a tip of a 'peninsula'. Different than you might see on the reverse of the Roosevelt dime/leaf.
