While, and has already been suggested, better photos may help with getting you a consensus, the one posted is clear enough to see that the cause of the anomaly is almost certainly a well-placed hit or the like. The lobe of the would-be primary is both too short and not of the correct shape, which wouldn't be the case if the ear was truly doubled. Take a moment to compare to the posted photos of the known significant variety; you'll notice that the secondary is identical in size and shape to the primary, and is what we would expect to see, even if in a different position, if this was in fact a new variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>The design of later Lincolns, unfortunately, turned into more of a caricature rather than a reasonably modernized representation of the original.
