Is it listed on varietyvista or Wexler 's Doubleddie site? I think you have the rare "upside down" obverse and "sideways" reverse variety
is it a die crack or break? I didn't see any examples of double eye only a double eyelid on wexler nothing on variety vista.
It's a pretty cool looking area around the eye. This is a very cool stage of a later die state coin imagine a set of dies striking a coin in one position for a lengthy amount of strikes. Then a slight Mechanical failure happens. The press is hot and pushing the machine beyond its limits. the chamber/chase cracks or turns soft because of the heat. The die in the failed chamber moves. This tilts the die when it strikes the coin, this repeated action leads to a transfer style of Die deterioration that is called indirect die transfer. This can happen when the dies get hot and soften. Most oftenly transfered from the obverse to the reverse as a ghost image. http://www.error-ref.com/?s=Indirect+die+transfer
