Not sure about this one.

Either it's a doubled eyelid, or perhaps a die gouge? Couldn't find the die markers.

What do y'all think?

Does the mm location line up with the DD in question? These are tough without markers, especially on a well circulated coin, where it could easily be misplaced metal.

Sorry, just looked, no mm location shown. Yours looks larger and more pronounced though, maybe a new one if it is a doubled die.

It appears that your arrow is pointing to a water spot or stain just below the eyelid. Not seeing any raised element there.

Makecents, the MM does not line up (had to check coppercoins), meaning it is most likely not the WDDO-007, but perhaps a new listing, or die gouge.

Tanman, not sure if you're seeing it but there is an ovalish shaped chunk of metal right where the arrow is pointing. There is also a stain at the bottom of it as well. I used a toothpick to check and see if there was any resistance in the area, and it felt like there was.

Hope this photo helps:

After reviewing the coin again (and checking the MM position on coppercoins which I was not aware of as Wexler did not provide photos of the MM), I do believe it's a well placed die gouge. A bit too big to be a normal doubled eyelid, and it is unlikely for it to be a new listing when in fact such a coin has been out for over 80 years.

Given the new closeup, I would say misplaced metal, the shape is not right, too jagged. Don't discount finding a new doubled eyelid when you think you may have one though because of time, they have just been brought to the forefront, fairly recently and more folks are looking for them now, where they did not know to look for them before.

I think that could be a valid assessment makecents. I'm not seeing any place where the metal could've come from, but it is indeed possible. Whatever it is, I believe you're correct by saying it isn't a doubled eyelid. Thank you for the vote of confidence, I don't have a lot of practice with doubled eyelids, so I'm not very sure of myself when it comes to them.

Oldfordman, doubled eyelids aren't your typical doubling. I'd recommend Wexler's, VV, or CC to view some examples of them, but yes I don't think it's a DDO at this point.
