Double Eye on a 1993D?

[Neighbor]

A good pocket find came from the local shell gas station. If this isn't a double eye then I give up. P.S. Is there any doubled eye varities for the Licoln cent?

There are doubled eye varieties for Lincoln cents listed,but this isn't one of them.It does look interesting and I'm anxious to see what the experts have to say.

I'm going to say that it's not hub doubling as I see other similar surface anomalies in the area and the angle is wrong or doesn't line up with anything it would be doubling. Just my take on it.

It's interesting, but I agree with Rock. It doesn't match anything on the design. I will add that for a hypothetical extra hubbing to show a device hubbed that deeply, there should be other areas also doubled. Probably the field in front of the face. There's nothing there.

The hierarchy of probably causes: plating blister, followed by any number of conceivable die anomalies (dent, gouge, break etc.).

No evidence of hub doubling shows here. Especially with doubled eyelids, we take the position of needing strong evidence that an anomaly IS hub doubling before we will list it. Anything that "could" be but doesn't have strong supporting evidence will not be listed.

Supporting evidence: Doubling in other central devices, raised area follows the same angle of the normal eyelid, and/or doubling occurs in an era where this class of doubling is known to occur. It must definitively look like hub doubling to be listed. Any decent chance it's a bubble or a gouge, and we cannot list it.

Additionally, for something so minor, decent markers must be present on the coin examined to list it. We cannot list any more very minor die varieties without a set of identifying markers. We're trying to clean up a list of specifics for what gets listed and what doesn't so we can publish it.
