It is not MD since, I believe, MD would be in proximity of the device effected. This one is way too far spread IMHO to be MD. If it were hub doubling, with this prominence of the anom., I would expect evidence of it on other devices as well.
Looks like the wrong size and shape for a doubled eye. There appear to be incuse impressions below the pushed-up extra "eyelids" which leads me to suggest post strike damage as a culprit. However, the one to the northeast looks more like a die chip or gouge. All smoothed over by circulation wear.

Appears to be worn damage to me as well. As far as the coppercoins files, I have no issues with listing the varieties. Are you still having issues with that?

The distance between the normal eye and the "eye" located to the northeast is not inconsistent with extreme machine doubling. I've seen even greater degrees of separation in undoubted cases of machine doubling. I would think damage is a more likely prospect. But the final word will hinge on a close examination under a microscope. I did purchase the coin on the off chance it represented something interesting. Regardless of what it turns out to be, it will be useful in a future article on the various causes of double eyes in Lincoln cents.
The die variety search feature is now working on coppercoins and there is nothing listed that resembles the auction coin. There are several "double eye" DDOs, but the extra eyelid is located in front of the normal eye, in an area of very low relief. The auction coin shows the "extra eyes" in an area of high relief, which is consistent either with machine doubling or damage.
