Looks just to be a circulation hit.
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Ok!
unnsure
don't microscopes have a way to shoot photos without taking a grainy picture from a screen?
take a non-microscope photo of the whole coin. orient it straight up and down
Ok, I’ll do that!
For the benefit of the original poster, 4Redisin is a banned member that has long outstayed his welcome. Perhaps he is intentionally trying to misinform you, perhaps not, but he is giving you misinformation nonetheless.
Why don't you ask your alt, @Married2Coins ?
Ask him why he was banned while you're at it, and perhaps you can learn how to improve your behavior.
@4Redisin
I’ll will checkout Variety Vista!
Thanks!
those new pics are useless.
need something like this

you get an idea if it is beaten up there or not
@MsMorrisine : ok!
@4Redisin : ooh I see!
Yes, very simply. There is no doubled earlobe. Just like your alt @Married2Coins , you lack the experience and ability to correctly assess die varieties, and consequently arrive at false conclusions. And like @Married2Coins , you harm inexperienced members of the Forum by spreading misinformation.
Here is another such example of your harmful behavior (no doubt you remember the thread, but others on the Forum may not
):

My photography skills are not good! This what I have for now; until I can get some photography help!
@Steven59 nailed it - there's either a damaged or stained area going across the ear. The ear is normal in size and shape - no doubling whatsoever. Thanks, Steven!
@4Redisin : Thanks for the advice!
And Thanks for all Opinions received thus far!
Much much better photo! I am not that familiar with ear doubling Lincoln cents so will leave those opinions to those who are.
For now, I suggest hanging on to the cent, and find others of the same date and mint mark to compare to. It's a learning experience, and some research!
And yes, there are trolls on this forum, and those that like to sow the seeds of confusion. After you continue to read posts on this forum, you will start getting a good idea of who you can trust and who to be suspect of.
Oh, and if you do not have a 5x to 10x magnifying loupe... a valuable piece of equipment for finding varieties and being able to confirm if genuine or not.
@tincup ! Will do Thanks
the bottom half of the "main" ear on the coin is really whacked out.
it could be maybe, but i don't know who to send it to who is the expert in doubling
keep it. at the very least you have a conversation piece. put it into a cardboard 2x2 holder
@MsMorrisine
I will, TY!
In regards to Ear Doubling; are the Lobe and Ear considered one and the same?
Or are Classifications for just Lobe different from the main Ear?
Thanks
I’m I correct to believe it’s classified as the Entire Ear?
i would think if you were standing there telling someone, you differentiate the two
Am I correct
Ok! Thanks
Ok! Thanks
I don't see anything worthy of sending for attribution to Wiles or Coneca, etc. The ear either took a hit or it is due to the Plating disturbances that is seen on the coin. Neat, but not worthy of more than a 2x2.
The Ear on a late 80's Lincoln has many different looks. The ones I posted show nearly the same look with more definition, stronger strike.
