Counter clash of Lincoln's tie?

This resembles the end if Abe's tie but it's turned the wrong way. I found this pretty cool.

Very cool! Great eyes. Did you find it roll hunting?

 

Yep, just found it in a roll. Picked up $20 worth of pennies today. This was in the first $10.

 

I don't know about this one... what reverse feature do you believe this to be showing? Considering the placement and roughness of the outline, added to the apparent spot on the anomaly, I cannot help but to wonder if this is simply an oddly shaped artifact of corrosion.

 

I took more pictures. I noticed that that is a roundness below the triangle area. After turning it a few times, it may be my eyes, but it appears that there's a "D". The spot your talking about would be in the lower left corner of the "D". Doesn't appear to be corrosion, there is metal build up around this.

 

i vote pmd..

 

How can that PMD? That triangle area is raised, hard metal. If you look, you can see where the tip of it crosses and covers Lincoln shirt.

 

Then what do you suppose this spot is as it certainly looks to be corrosion from how the light plays off of it in more than one photo? Also, what part of the reverse design do you believe this anomaly to represent? Perhaps these will help...

I believe it's just a die break, known in past years as a "stick-pin."

 

What does the term "stick pin" refer to?

 

The break resembles the head of a stickpin. Stickpins were used to keep ties from shifting.

 

You might get more technical and more appreciative comments in the error forum. I have nothing against you all I'm saying is an error discussion might be better off there. Just a suggestion .

 

Thank you. How can this be moved to the error forum?

 

well, try and figure out how you can get an obverse clash on the obverse of the coin and in one of the deepest recesses of the die...

 

that round dark spot is a popped plating blister, and the raised area is a linear plating blister...

 

Thank you all for your help. At this time, I'll just put this coin in my collection box until I can get a closer look at it. I do appreciate the help though.

 

It looks like a corrosion bubble to me too.
