??? Not seeing where the pics are.

[Chamfre008]

They are in my photo album space!!!!!! I also posted the 2004 D Jeffersn nickel with a sideways "U" on reverse!!!!!!!

It is hard to see the earlobe very well but from what I can see the coin looks like it may have taken a hit on the ear lobe. A close up photo of the earlobe would help make a better determination.

i looked and zoomed in, its not the ddo. it might have taken a hit, i dont see it there at all.

[DoubleYou]

I agree. It is not a ddo. It is a hit.

[jcuve]

I would agree that the pics are small and I also lean toward a hit.

2006 Lincoln Cent DDO On Earlobe Tip Error

GREETINGS YET AGAIN!!!!! HERE ARE THE ATTACHMENTS/PICTURES OF 2006 Lincoln Cent DDO on Earlobe tip error!!!! Thanks for your help in the posting of these photos!!!! I appreciate it!!!!!WHEW!!!!

It is just a hit...I downloaded and zoomed in to be sure.This is a common area for hits.

Most of us who have replied are quite familiar with the variety you're suggesting. The second earlobe should show to the southwest of the primary- This means separated.

Perhaps we can do this another way- what is it about your coin that causes you to believe it's a Doubled Die? Are you familiar with the differences between strike and die doubling? (I too see a contact mark, but your level of knowledge will give us better insight on your perspective).

A hit is a hit is a hit. Please don't ignore the talented folks on this forum. Wishing it to be something doesn't make it so.

Greetings and the answer to liveandievarities response is I believe that double dies can occur on any part/aspect of the coin. Where the double die occurs would have to be taken into account and in the 2006 D Lincoln cent DDO on Earlobe the DOUBLE DIE occurs on the TIP of the EARLOBE and is is not separate as indicated by the second earlobe being to the southwest of the primary earlobe. I hope this explains my theory and please I take into account all the LCR's expertise as far as these ERRORS occurance and thank you kindly for your all the above responses!!!!!!!

In the recent era of hub creation and the sometimes hub doubling that occurs during the single squeeze hub pressings, doubling does NOT occur on any part/aspect of the [design]. With only very rare exceptions (when the hubbing had to have been stopped and restarted causing offset doubling) doubling is confined to the center 2/3 of the design. You will find it in an open area adjacent to design elements; and there is a surprising consistency to where it is found on any given design.

It is however true that the ear has proven to be an area at times impacted during hub doubling, and the coin in question has an anomaly of some sort in that exact area. With such small pictures, it is hard to rule out common anomalies and or damage: such as a plating blister (bubble) or a die gouge or die dent that is near the ear; a hit to the ear; or machine doubling to the ear. Honestly, we need either bigger pics (which can maybe be taken with a loupe up to a digital camera lens) or the coin would have to be sent to a attributer to determine what you have.

Thank You for your reply Jason I do appreciate it!!!!! Your statement puts perpective into this subject!!!!I will take the picutures again next week with the loupe and camera method you suggested and will post the images after May 4,2011.
