2006 Doubled Die Lincoln cent reported

The first strong doubled die obverse reported for the 2006 Lincoln cent! The coin boasts a Lincoln portrait with a strongly doubled earlobe with the secondary lobe fully displaced from its point of origin to the southwest on Lincolns upper neck. Significant doubling can also be seen in the lower areas of Lincolns beard. This new doubled ear variety has been assigned an FS listing number of FS-01-2006-101 by J.T. Stanton and will be included in future editions of the Cherrypickers' Guide To Rare Die Varieties by Bill Fivaz and Stanton. Information was obtained from the ConecaOnline.org website
