The doubling of the ear refers to the Lincoln cent only . 1997 among other years . Here's a brief chart .

Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don’t learn the coin hobby backwards. 😊

Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage.

Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like.

A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins.

I agree with Earl42. You should Restrict yourself to searching know varieties and error. You should also study ERROR-REF as they say, up oneside and down the other; you can never study too much. You really need to read until there is no dought in you mind that when you see something on your coin(s) you will know what it is. Everyone who is new to searching coins, be they cents, nickels, dimes, E.T.C... Starts off thinking they have found something only to be told after they post it, that it is nothing. I even started out like that. If you listen to what they are saying to you and put it into practise you will start making large steps into what is what.

I agree with earle and DSCoins. All this on your coin is normal and commonly found.

BUT.. there is all kinds of Discovery coins out there Discovery mint error coins. I even have a penny tore a piece of plastic fell in there and it's messed it onto the face of the Lincoln. Much like the one with the staple and the piece of cloth. Now don't have a computer at home and I am new to coin hunting but I'm under the impression if I discovered this bent are going to be on any website.. now I looked in searched for the bicentennial 1976 counterstamp I have okay but I couldn't find nothing

The term "discovery coin" is typically used for errors that happen identically to multiple coins. It will be the first discovered of multiple coins found with that same exact error.

A struck through debris coin is not a "discovery coin" since its a one time event..the coin is unique and there will not be others exactly like that one coin. What you mention about the staple was a one time error event. One time events, as you suggest, obviously are not documented.

An error that occurs identically more than once is caused not by a random event, but by, for example, the dies being engraved with a multiple image (doubled die). Every coin made with that die will have the identical doubling error. It is these multiple event types of mint errors that are pretty much all documented b/c there have been, and are still, so very many collectors over so many years looking for this type of error and reporting them.

Every year as the new coins come out into circulation, there are a LOT of people checking them for new "discovery" coins.
