Two penny boxes and two double ears

I have never found a double ear in five years but now it appears I have found two in a row. A 1983 d in great shape and 96 in circulated but not bad condition

This is the listing for the 1983 D doubled ear
http://varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/DDO 1983-D.htm
there are no listings for a 1996

 

Ditto .

 

I believe this is a die chip.

 

The 83 matches Variety vista even the die crack in the hair. The second is damage.

 

Looks like a die chip earring .JMHO

 

The correct Numismatic Terminology is actually Doubled ear.. Not double ear.
Remember that.

 

Sorry, typo

 

You act as if someone has stepped on your tail every time some does not use the proper term.

 

IMO, I think it's important that new collectors learn the accepted terminology of the hobby. i know it can sound a little pedantic, but it's how we, as numismatists communicate.

If someone had an interest in cats, but was using incorrect names for the breeds, wouldn't you want want to help them?

 

Yes Meow gets that, and understands. sometime Meow thinks @paddyman98 takes it personally.

 

I act like the caring person that I am. I'm also a teacher so I strive to educate with all the knowledge I have received. My intention is not to irk anyone even though I do sometimes. Does that bother me? Just a little. But hey.. It's their loss if they want to stay ignorant about certain things.

My suggestion to those that I irk.. Block me.
Simple solution to your problem!

scientia potentia est

 

Knowledge is the ultimate power

 

Meow meant no offense.

 

Peace

Hey.. This is my cat Doobie. He currently lives in Pennsylvania with my sister.. He is very quiet and is a non shedder. He loves the outdoors!

 

Take him Metal detecting! Meow would be ecstatic to have an opportunity to get paws dirty digging up treasures.

 

Lol With dirty paws you wouldn't be let back in the house.
