Interesting. Since it is a Copper plated Zinc Cent it could be some kind of weird plating bubble in the area of the lips
if you notice my coin has an xtra mouth and upper lip above the plump "puckered lips", pcgs's coin does not. ty for the help, but I don't think these match
I agree with Rick (for once.. haha) it has been hit above the lips. If you look at any 2000 penny the lips look weird. It's just the design of Lincolns face for 2000. I don't like it myself but hey nobody asked me when the made it.
