I now understand why you posted these stamps.
I didn't even notice the apparent difference in the eyes. There is no mention of a 2nd variety of this stamp in either Scott or Datz (error catalog), so I'm guessing this is not considered an important difference. The Scott catalog pictures the stamp on the left, while both Harris & Durland appear to show the one on the right ... and all of my copies (18 & 20 cent) are like the ones on the right. Maybe someone else is aware of what appears to be a difference in the eyes on the Hoban issue & will chime in. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. If nothing else, it is an interesting anomaly.
Added: A quick look on
ebay seems to find only the 1-eyed version, although I didn't take a close look at very many. I think the apparent 2-eyed version might be caused by a slight mis-registration of colors on that stamp.
