    1994 doubled ear?

    Another one I set aside as questionable. It could be a doubled earlobe... or well-placed die damage.

      Hi, Wendell,
      I assume you are referencing the little blob to the SW of the ear? It could be a die ding, as you suggest, or even more likely a plating blister. Since it is not the same shape as the bottom of the lobe, which is the deepest part of the ear on the die, I don't feel anyone could (or at least should) claim it as a doubled ear.

        I agree with Will. This is not an earlobe anomaly.

          That's what I pretty much what I concluded too. Too far away and not quite the right shape.
