    That is not the doubled die ear die-1.

    One bit of advice, if you are trying to match a certain variety like 1984 die-1 (the doubled die that shows on the ear) it will look exactly like it, not sort of similar, it will be exactly the same doubling.

    I think on yours, it might have a tiny hit on the ear then a stain below that sort of looks like doubling but it's lower and different.

    Look at the listing linked here LINK

    Welcome to the LCF... I moved your post to its own thread... You will get more people to look at and make comments that way... A fairly good first pic but it looks a little to washed out for me to see what you have!!!

    So do you still think what you said or what others said about this coin?
    And what is A Hit
    Is that a nick while in circulation or is that kinda like a clash error or?
    I am so sorry I'm afraid I am Not as good at this as I would like to be.
    Thank you Everyone in advance 4 your patience and your Assistance.

    A hit is damage after it is minted or struck by the dies. Hits can be very deceptive and make things look different than they actually are.

    It is difficult to see the coin clearly in the images, even when it is enlarged. Try clicking on your images to see what we see
    (Remember you have an advantage over us because you have the coin in hand.)

    Everyone was referring to the "big" doubled ear cent struck at the Philly mint in 1984 (no mint mark). Yours does NOT match that one for quite a few reasons. Click on this LINK to see images of that variety.\

    I don't want to be discouraging to you because everyone here would love for another one to be found. But from these images there is only one answer: Nope.

    Try posting clearer images and maybe a closeup if you are still convinced it is a doubled ear.
    Thanks for posting and keep coming back. We like your efforts.

    Welcome to the forum.

    The ear on Lincoln cents often gets hit by other coins, when smashed it looks sort of doubled. Hard to search for until you become comfortable with what a normal or damaged ear looks like. The big one looks like this image of mine here:
