2023 D Lincoln Cent Eye Question.

I agree with you errors and varieties, I'm just curious as to what it is. As far as I know it's the wrong area for doubling so I'm just confused honestly

The nose just looks circulated in hand. I'm not seeing MD the green arrow which is where one arrow was pointed looks to be a hit from another coin to me.

From my understanding the nose looks normal to me the black arrows indicate what I think are normal design elements. Those areas from what I can tell should look as they do.

The red arrows are the questionable things. They look look rounded not step like to me.they also look to be out of place for lack of better wording. Am I just overlooking the placement of the red arrow things? Are they MD and I'm just seeing it weird?

I'm just confused now

As I said, not 100% sure about this one. A huge contributor to what you see and what we see with the pics you give us is due to directional lighting differences. Here are the other two pics you had in the triple pic. They look totally different. I picked the first of the three because it looks very similar to push doubling, not damage or a doubled die. The eye area is different but could easily be because of lighting. There are certain areas on a coin that will give you what I would call backwash with the lighting. The light reflects off of other devices. The nose eye area is one of these, in my opinion. Also keep this in mind with letters that curl, such as the R in AMERICA, light will refract off itself and create "doubling" that is not actually there. I fought this for a long time before I came to grips with it. Do 1/4 turns with your coin, concentrating on the same area and see if it shows, no matter how you turn it.

Fair enough I'll be trying a quarter turn for visibility that may be what I need to do. I'll get back to you in a bit out and about right now. I have heard of push doubling and read up on it. I may have overlooked something I'll get back with my findings shortly. At first glance it doesn't look like normal MD I'll check again

I can't comment on this particular coin but as makesense said, rotating a coin is very important. For shield cents, its because of the rounded nature of the devices which tends to create a light induced doubling. On older cents and other denominations, it will eliminate early Die Deterioration where the side of the device increases from 90 degrees For example, a device appears to be doubled. When the is rotated, you notice that its just the side of the device because the top edge of the device has moved more toward the center of the device (greater than 90 degrees) from die wear.

So if you rotate a coin and what you are seeing is always there, then its not an illusion caused by lighting and angle. At this point, I choose the best rotation with lighting to photograph the anomaly and correct orientation during cropping.

Well, it could be a doubled eye (I'm not that good with the eyes), but the mark on the nose looks like a hit to me.

Good observation Dearborn I agree with you on the nose being a hit. Now that I have an idea this may be something I do plan to save it in a 2x2. In a couple weeks when I have my camera again I may try to get better photos and see what coneca thinks. Thank you for your input makecents, knowing my luck it probably is only work hub related dunno but thank you everyone who commented your help is appreciated.
