Currently, I do not have my regular camera with me so bear with me about the horrible pictures. Question, the back of the ear and neck have what it looks like to me doubled die abrasions. The hair is very noticeable in the picture but the ear looks a bit blurry. Is this just normal 88?

I see what looks like may be some missing details on the back of the neck/hair..caused by grease. Also see what looks like a hit on the ear.But you are right about the pics, really not very good to id something like this.The angle doesn't help.

This is very normal with a lot of 83 through 88 cents. It is expected that most of these cents are abraided or have striations. The ear does look like the area on and around it looked pitted.

A normal coin with die deterioration and circulation wear. This would be a typical find for any date that shows wear on the die and circ wear on the coin.
