Anyone have anything on this coin.
What's your best thoughts for dealing on this finding.
Excuse my upload its was a deal getting it on the forum. But with help I made it.
Thanks

The pics are a little too fuzzy to tell. I could be wrong but it looks like the coin took a hit across the bridge of the nose that leads to what I think you are talking about.

I'm not seeing anything but they are a little blurry. The little spot just east of the base of the eyelid might be a blister. Hard to tell but not likely.

This post brings up a good question in my mind.
How can modern Lincoln cents have a doubled eyelid (or doubled ear for that matter) since the dies are produced with the single squeeze method?

Looks to be extremely rare, a few class 4 and 5.... (http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/d...&die_state=eds)

Good question. We have been discussing it recently in several other threads.
I'm working on this study right now. In these cases of the centrally located doubled dies with significant spread, it is because it technically wasn't a "single squeeze." The operator started until there was minor contact, stopped, backed it up to make a positional adjustment, and then went through with the whole "single squeeze." In my opinion, these should be listed as class 4 doubled dies, just like the doubled eyelids of the past. It looks as though a few are listed that way, but then most are listed as class 9. Anyway, there are also the other type of listed class 9 doubled dies, such as the 2011 1do-004, 2014 DDOs 1-3, etc. that show distorted doubling across the entire face. These presumably have a different cause which others have speculated about, and which I am studying right now to attempt to get a better understanding. I have an idea, which I am trying to support with empirical evidence. Gonna take a little time, but I am intrigued.

Thanks Jon and Will for adding some much needed info I've missed (or forgotten) over time.

This answers my question about the secondary doubling that shouldn't be there with the single squeeze method (and gels with what makes sense).
Definitely will be looking forward to your completed research and insight.

The different classes of dies can be a bugger to keep straight sometimes.

I'm in with Jons' assessment!!!
