Okay....well, I'm glad you're reading up and things.  I apologize for implying you're not.  However, I think you're not looking at the 1988 DDO FS-101 correctly.  Your photos did not help at all.  I hate to keep being critical, but you definitely need to work on some of your photos as well if you want us to be able to help you out.  Good photos are key to that process.  I first checked our host's Variety Plus page, but they didn't have a picture of this particular variety.  But then, I checked out Variety Vista and found a pic.....and this doubled die jumps right off and hits you in the face.  If you have one, you wouldn't have to ask about it.  Here's a link to the Variety Vista page so you and everyone else can see what I mean:

http://www.varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/1988PDDO003.htm

The link says DDO-003, but once you see the page, you'll see they've updated it to FS-101.  There's no question about this variety.  It isn't subtle.  If the two earlobes don't jump out at you, then you don't have that variety.  Most of the really collectible and valuable doubled dies from before the single squeeze die hubbing era are like that.  They're not subtle and most are either naked eye pickups or they're visible under low magnification.  The 1988 FS-101 is like that.

Thank you & this is the pic I was looking at.

This is a very good point.  To the OP.....you need to do some more homework, clearly.  Check out Wexler's Die Varieties page on Doubled Dies.....there is a ton of information there:

https://www.doubleddie.com/58222.html

We'll help you, but you have to put in some work as well.  Check out Wexler's site and others.  Look at photos of actual doubled dies, read about how they're made, learn what the characteristics of a true doubled die are.  You haven't posted a single coin which even remotely looks like it could be a doubled die of any type.  If you don't try to learn about doubled dies and other varieties on your own and you just keep posting coins like this, you likely will end up being ignored eventually.  Coinbuf's dead on.

 

Absolutely agree 100% that’s all I’ve been doing is reading and researching and I was on heritage auction earlier and they are examples way better than mine the pictures are way better than mine And there’s not many examples of this coin. 1988 1C Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, MS66 Red PCGS. The die doubling is most obvious on Lincoln's ear, with the lobe duplicated south of the primary ear. This is the only attributed example of the variety at PCGS in a Red holder. PCGS lists another example in MS63 Red and Brown, but no others are attributed for the Doubled Ear variety (3/20).

As the others have said, the photos are pretty bad.  From what I can discern from them, however, you appear to just have a normal 1988 cent.  I see nothing indicating any doubling whatsoever.

Yes I agree my pictures pretty bad The reason I said the 003 in the middle of the ear There’s a break just like that 003 and if you look at it you can see a line of another ear going down

I believe you do not have a doubled ear but have a cent with some circulation dings. However, as Greenstand said the close ups are not helpful. The full coin shots I don’t see doubling but I could be missing it. Pictures are so hard to give good advice with.

What number on Variety Vista? I don’t see it.

Also have no idea what the screen shots are. Way too large.

I have no idea why they uploaded sideways. I believe it’s this one but I’m not really sure I’m still learning a lot about coins 1988 DDO-003, 3-O-VIII

I believe I have a double ear? I went on .varietyvista.com  and it looks like it to me lol.

Does anyone know why it looks like it was plated copper or something I’m not sure 

So I’ve been looking at the ear/ coin for like an hour and a half two hours. Google it and it seems like all the pictures are different so I just need some help appreciate itGoogle it and it seems like all the pictures are different so I just need some help appreciate it

Thank you all 

1972 penny I’m pretty sure it’s a double die but I don’t think it’s the big one but I believe it’s one of the dies? Any help would be appreciated.

1969 penny DDO? & thank you all for your help & time.

1984 Lincoln penny DDO?

Yep.  What you have is a dryer coin.  This is a coin that gets stuck in a clothes dryer and gets worn down by the action of the dryer, which is what has happened to your coin.  It's worth face value.

Hi Mohawk thank you for your help.Last night I was looking at the rim The shape and it almost looks all copper is it from the heat of the dryer

Is this Dime double struck / triple struck and it also looks like it was struck upside down as well? Any help would be appreciated
