Found this one today. Haven't found it listed so I thought I'd post it. Shows to close to the north. 1939P.

Very interesting. Almost looks like a blob of metal sitting ON the eyelid. It just doesn't look right for some reason or another. Have you attempted to brush it off??

I use GOO GONE to clean the area of the eye. The coin started out pretty gummy and hard to see any detail prior to removing the gunk. Can't tell by the photo but looks to be a weaker lid just above this one.

I did notice that Steven. I am certainly not saying it isn't one, but it's got to me one of the weirdest ones I have seen. It looks like the right side of the primary eyelid right below the secondary is 'dug out' a bit. This has to be one of the strongest north eyelids I have seen if it does prove to be one. I would have figured it would have been found by now, but then again, that's not always the case. Very nice picture though.

Here is another angle so I can get the lighting better.

Sure thing Bob,
I may look for a few other to send for attribution and then get in touch with you again.
