Answered: 1982 small date zinc ( Double die or Machine doubling?)
I'm not sure so I'm not going to jump to conclusions. Lmao
Never the less it's an interesting coin! So double die or machine doubling , or maybe a combination of both??
I would also think MD... The ear looks like it is a ramp from south to north giving the appearance of an extra lobe... The other areas cut into the design and appear shelf like... If you could get a clearer image that may help a bit???

Hi Guys, Newbie here! Question if this is MD then wouldn't it show an extra eyelid? I don't see any trace of that.
Welcome to the LCF... MD is strange... There are examples of isolated MD on a single device to MD on every device... It all depends on the event that causes the MD to occur... Loose dies and die wear are just a couple of the items that can affect the MD... In this case the eyelid was not involved... Hope that helps a little!!!

A doubled eyelid is not a definitive indication of MD.
There are many early wheats and even some memorials where a doubled eyelid is a true DDO.
Here is just one example of a true DDO doubled eyelid on a 1944. (thank you Must be Bob and CopperCoins)
