What is the controversy with this variety?

1992 DDO

heres what Coppercoins wrote:

"Significant doubling of the eyelid to the east is seen on this variety. NOTE: After careful re-examination, it is this attributers opinion that this may not be a doubled eye at all, but rather a well placed die-crack/chip. For now, we will leave this posted here for informational and educational purposes."

This mystery coin was dicussed at length over at the Lincoln Cent Forums:

I was the first to examine this coin and it did appear to be an unusual doubled die, if it is a doubled die. I am not convinced that it is die chip either, it is just to symmetrical. What a lot of people do not know is that there appears to be another level behind the anomaly.

Reanalyzing what this possibly could be leaves me with thoughts that this could be the damage left to the die from a struck through a foreign object, such as another piece of a damaged die.

...Just a thought from a layman's observation. Again, not from an expert's,
so I hope to be understood when I make erroneous comments. Effective way for me to learn, too.

Looks like the image in question is symmetrical to the shape of the 'hollow' area just above it (bottom of eyebrow, our eye's squinting area). That area
is a continuation image of an eyelid when doubled. Could it be a chip that originated there? Or MD movement formed by that 'hollow/incused' area?

Will watch this 'til concluded. Thanks!
