    Possible double ear

    Probably coated in something magnetic. Also, pictures are too dark/blurry to see the ear.

    Here are some references for you. Bookmark them.
    VV is an in depth reference to just about every modern doubled die and variety.

    Coinfacts is a good place to get values of coins from previous auctions.
    Also a good place to learn about grading. Grade equals value.

    There is a lot to read on this site and probably the most in depth and informative site to all things variety. It explains in depth of the minting process and how DD happen. What is worthless doubling on and on. Take some time and read it!
    A great education tool.

    What type of magnet are you using? Have you weighed it? It appears to be an ordinary worn cent, and NO on the double ear. Google double ear cents and study the photos. While there are many different types considered to be double ear, your's is not one of them.

    I used a really small cheap magnet and tried it on several pennies. The reason I thought it may be double ear is to the right lower of the earlobe. I haven't had a chance to weigh it

    It's a Environmental Damaged Copper Plated Zinc Cent. No need to weigh it.

    I have a magic trick where a Copper plated zinc cent is coated with a ferromagnetic substance to make it stick to a magnet. It's a novelty item.. Not a mint error of any kind.
