    In the bag of 1952 wheats was another bag with 1coin labeled this. Im not even gonna try to take a pic of this but there is a line right behind the edge of the eyelid. Im sure it's just an amazing scratch and the fact that it was not mentioned to me at purchase, I thought I would ask you fine people.

    Its hard enough for me to take a clear pic of a whole penny let alone an eyelid. The moment someone says "yes. There are documented pennies with double eyelids from 61 years ago" I will run to a store and buy a microscope camera

    All you need is the camera on your phone and a 5x loupe

    I've tried that but I kept getting weird shadows.

    Yes, there are documented cents with doubled eyelids from 61 years ago.
    In fact, I know of at least 3 different examples doubled eyelids (class IV doubled dies) for that year and mint!
    Alright, now I want proof that you ran out and bought a microscope camera. ;)

    This one appears to have the line ON the eyelid but I will check for this when I get home.

    Here is the best I can do at the moment. Again, the line is between the eye socket and the edge of the eyelid. Im not good at adjusting pictures with contrast/color/etc... to make things more visible. Maybe you guys can.

    Picture unfortunately gets too pixelated when I zoom in...can't make anything out one way or the other.

    Invest in a USB scope. It'll improve your quality of searching many times over. I have a normal scope that I use to search for varieties and errors, and I have found tons of stuff that I wouldn't have found with a 5x loupe.
