<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3252120, member: 99642&quot;]The only doubled ear known that I&#039;m aware of is the 1984 no mint (Philly).It looks like his ear lobe...doubled.</p><p>As P&amp;G says, this looks more like a die chip.</p><p><br /></p><p>Members, please correct me if I&#039;m wrong, or even partially wrong, but a &quot;die chip&quot; is when a die is &quot;chipped&quot; (partially broken) and when used, it causes excess metal to be squeezed into the void caused by the chip.Sometimes a number of coins may be stamped before a mint worker notices and replaces the die.</p><p>Since the stamped coins fall into a large bin with other stamped coins, the mint workers don&#039;t usually go looking for them, thus they end up in circulation, where they are found by lucky folks like you and the rest of us.</p><p>It has no great value, but it&#039;s worth keeping, as a &quot;Show and Tell&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I&#039;ve looked for years but have never found a 1984 doubled ear, but please don&#039;t give up looking.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s the &quot;Thrill of the Hunt&quot; that makes this hobby so much fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
