1. Multiple-eyes, How many Eyes?. Eye brows, nose, lips?.
2. Can this qualify as "Mint Condition" above MS68!!

As to the grade, not MS 68. Too many scratches on the cheek and rims for starters.

As for multiple eyelids, it's just too dark an image around the eye to tell. And with plating bubbles that were prevalent during this period, it's next to impossible to determine what bumps in the area might be.

You'll probably need to send it off to a recognized attributor for confirmation.

I'm not seeing multiples of anything but your photos (and please always show us both sides). The grading section can assist you with a grade.

I am not an expert but I am not seeing any doubling, I do see what looks like a linear scratch across Lincoln's cheek and a couple of other places.

Well, who said those are scratches, you need a glass or something, those are die cracks or die leaks!..there are no scratches..

I just laughed out loud. Your coin is nowhere near MS68, more like AU. Contact marks, abrasion, dents, dings, scratches, rim gouges, etc.... Have you studied the grading process and all it entails?
There is NO need to be rude to those giving you their opinions here as you were in your last post.
Can you please explain to me what a "die leak" is? I've been collecting for quite awhile and I have personally never heard of this term.
Good luck on submitting your coin for attribution. I personally would not recommend it, but.... Good luck

Ans:
What is rude in the previous message, I find your post imply a rude response than what I wrote. A person claimed he or she was not an expert, but posted a message implying like an expert, "said "I don't see any doubling?, see scratches?. To call a "die crack" scratch across cheek?.(What would you say?...will you go ahead and applaud or respond to them to take a look back may be wear a glass?. Isn't good eyesight is the most important aspect of examining a coin or an image?..

as far the error (term used), I said "die crack" (die leak is a common expression I used for die crack, it is not a terminology used or a technical term in mint errors, unless someone introduces it in the future, not a big deal)
