Thanks RikcO,
To your opinion, does the 3 coins show double ears.

They do appear to show a doubled ear... though admittedly, I have not studied this issue on cents...so do not take that opinion as expert. Cheers, RickO

All machine doubling, and no need for multiple threads on the subject. When you find something that is the real deal, you will know.
That is all I can say, besides good luck in the search.

It is listed by CONECA as DDO-001, by John Wexler as WDDO-001 in our Variety Coin Register as VCR#1/DDO#1 and in the Cherrypickers' Guide To Rare Die Varieties as FS#1c-043.

    The cause is most likely due to a tilted die blank seating itself into proper position during the hubbing process -- a condition that has been confirmed as occurring by Mint workers with hands-on experience at both the Philadelphia and Denver Mints.  One Mint worker described the action of a tilted die seating itself properly during a hubbing as having a distinctive "clunking sound" -- a familiar ring to anybody who has spent considerable time operating  presses set up for stamping operations where the work-piece may be loaded off-location but forced into position by the upper die during a cycle (a sound this author has heard hundreds of times during his stint as a press operator).

You are looking at the wrong date. The above citation is for 1997 and your coin is from 1993.

Apologize,
The distinctive "clunking sound" was also in reference to the 1997?

That was just describing a theory on why only the central portion is doubled on many of these as after 1996 the mint went to a single squeeze method in preparing the die.

The 1997 doubled ear is also controversial, and some experts view this as nothing more than a well placed die chip. It has however, been accepted by the majority and details of the beard have been shown to display doubling as well
