I've taken a break from looking through Memorial cents and switched over to the good old Wheat cent for a bit.
It still surprise me what you can find going through these guys. Not only do you find more than a few RPMs, every once in awhile you come across something like this.
This is a Philadelphia mint 1947 Lincoln cent with strong doubled eyelid to the south. I can not be to sure if it is a CONECA listed die, however, this site does not have it.
You all keep searching, they are out there.

Nice find, BJ. None of mine look like that!

I agree. Very nice find. I've been thinking about giving the memorials a rest too and starting on a new batch of 40 wheat rolls I picked up last month. Hope I can be as fortunate.

I've always wondered if the grow in the stash when your not looking. I always look several times before I let them go, unless they are circulated trash. Then they are thrown back as being too little.... (fishing pun)

I'm amazed that eylids seem to be abundant in the 40s.
It must have been like our modern extra reverse bars.
Recently I've found hoards of eylids. I'm saving them if they are decent coins.
I found one like your 47-p, it was so nice I had it graded and thought it's coneca die-2 or die-3 but ANACs just put on the slab Double Die Obverse. I wanted to know which one!
Here's a neat one, it's a 44-D doubled eylid, shows as thickness on the date (9) and even has an RPM. It's coneca double die-10 and RPM-16. This site has a spot for this RPM and it's not listed as a DDO here so it could be a double hole filler

Like Coop said these things grow in the tubes
Nobody could ever list all of these, they'll be discovering new ones for many years to come.
Here's a pair of 45-d double eylids:
A 45-d close south, it might be a tripled eyelid, look north and east above the lid:
A different 45-d that's further south, I have a bunch of nice ones of this one if anyone want's to trade:

Just found a 1955-S 1DO-001 tripled eyelid.
Among some stuff I had already searched but the coin was so bright and that die has little strength on the extra eylids so it was hard to notice until I looked at the right angle so maybe that's how I missed it before.
These eyelids are growing
