1988 Philadelphia two ear penny error

Lurepig

Looking at my 88 ,which is in great condition, I noticed a rare error. As I know only one has been noticed so far. It was tough to see the error but I really believe it is what I see..lol, I hope I do.expert advice would be awesome.

Kind of blurry, but looks like a normal ear to me.

Sorry, I cannot tell for 100% from the image but there is a doubled ear variety for this date and it looks like you have found one!

Lurepig

Well. Dont think damage, the coin has been in protected case since 88. and quality is flawless. It was difficult to find on the coin. I'll take more pics

Photos are too blurry to tell anything for sure.

All Lincoln cents have two ears -- one (right) can be seen and the other cannot.

Prior to 1959, all Lincoln cents had 3 visible ears.

The lobe does look doubled but it doesn't look like die 3.
Could you take some additional images?

After 58 there's 2 more ears on the statue in the monument on the back.

I cannot tell conclusively from those pictures.... The pictures do not show the detail as visible in the CPG.... Cheers, RickO

Better focus on the coin surface is necessary.

Edited as @ACop beat me to the joke!
