Doubled Eyelids On Wheat Cents: What To Look For?

Doubled eyelids on wheat cents: What to look for?
The first image has some information to read on these, but what I forgot to add that subject is that the angle of these are almost exactly like the angle of the eyelid.

There was some speculation that the 1910 cents had a doubled eye, but the case was that the near vertical lines were not doubling, but just lost detail off the die from die wear.

So I hope This information will help. This is not all of the doubled eyelids. Just information I already had loaded on my image host at the time.




Memorial cents:

How do the compare when view next to a normal cent:

So keep in mind also that the angle is the clue. Why is this a concern? Because die wear can show a line that looks like a doubled eyelid, but they are not doubled eyelids. The angle is horizontal instead of at an angle matching the eyelid. Note this angle:

Note that these are not matching the eyelid angle:


Just part of die flow on that area.

Seems like they phased out about 1963. But there could still be some?

The 1992 is one that is called a doubled eyelid. But I feel it is a die chip.

The side by side helps a bit on this one. But feel free to add what ones you like as well. We'll try to cover all bases.
