That is the correct die number. I love it when the die scratches match so well. When you take images of the doubled eyelids, it is better to have the light at 12:00 above the eye. I was looking and missed it in the image of the eye. Afterwards I look at coppercoins and could see it looking the second time. If the light is fixed in the position you use it, then rotate the coin to get the correct alignment, then rotate the image to the orientation all are used to seeing the coin. Light direction helps a lot in seeing doubling.

On most doubled dies are rotate the coin 180 degrees to show the doubling. It lets the light fall over the doubled die. When new photographers take the shot, they tend to put the light over the strongest doubling, most of the time glaring that area. So I go the opposite direction.

I have a very bright primary light source. Use mylar to cut down on light, also use secondary light and white paper to reflect light onto coin. Can rotate camera for coin orientation. Place coin so light shows subject area. Haven't had a lot of success bringing out features in shadow, even though I have shadow protection software. Below is non-oriented shot with primary light source from SW. North and northeast light source put doubled eye in shadow.
