I believe what you're seeing here is a "well-placed" contact mark.

Nice images but I'm not seeing anything close to an exact replica of an eye.
See the link below of an
1898 AU IH LINK .
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1898-INDIAN-HE ... 7675.l2557 .
Your coin has a deep contact mark above the eye on the eyebrow. (As well as many other contact marks from being well circulated.)
