Doubled Ear madness

[jcuve]

I put this collage compiling many of the known doubled dies in the Lincoln cent series that have some form of doubling on the ear. This is by no means all of them. Most are not known for ear doubling, and some can only be identified on uncirculated examples.

The illustration is about as small as I can make it with the images still making sense. Top two rows show either separate lobes or extra thick lobes. Bottom two rows show doubling in some part of the internal structure of the ear. Most doubled ears have been found on either class IV or V and more recently class VIII. 2006 DDO-003 was by far the hardest to get an image of ear doubling.
