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...
I think it's called "a normal lowercase F". ;) Seriously, compare it to some others and you will see the letter looks the same way. Keep up the hunt!
Post-mint damage.

Separate names with a comma.
