I found a few things on my 1959 LMC and wonder if you could help me with those. The first item matches up with 1959D-1DO-002 on Coppercoins site it is this one

1959-LMC

The blob on the post. The others I will just list here and hopefully someone can help me match some of the other items up with something if anything. There is also extra metal on the side, bottom and top of this same picture.

The picture below shows extra metal in the S.

In the E

The bottom piece of metal from picture above.

To quote coppercoins.com;"A widely spread but lightly hubbed extra eyelid southeast of the primary eyelid."
You failed to show the eye area.What you did show is several die chips.

The coin is red and it is shiny. So here goes. I know I'm going to hear it about this picture. I purposely didn't put the picture...because of the shine in that area.

Okay hopefully this one is a little better

Removed what I had posted because I am an IDIOT. Reading is fundamental. I was looking at the 1959-P-1DO-002. DUR!

I put another picture in my above post...hopefully it is a little better. That glare sure can hurt a picture that is for sure.

The location of the mint mark looks close. I can see the die scratches in the TRUST area. But a better image of the eyelid would be a big help.

Here's 2 more...I think that is going to be the best I can do with the equipment that I have. Hopefully, you can see it.

It maybe a doubled eyelid, but the doubling is too far south to be 002. It maybe the angle of the shot taken or it may just be a different new doubled eyelid? Hang onto it for now. Maybe later when you get a few more images under your belt you maybe able to get a better shot?

Are you saying that you do not see the 2nd eyelid at all. I thought I got pretty good pictures this time.

Hard to say forsure if this is die flow or hub doubling? Here is an example of Die Deterioration:

This can be a factor.
