1964 D LMC With gouge

This LMC looks to have a gouge or other anomaly on the front of the jacket just below the tie. I'm thinking gouge because the rest of the surfaces are considerable heavy with die scratches.

I don't see it . Help me see it please .

 

I think that's just the part of the design. Look at some others, I think you'll see.

 

I see it to the left of the tie. I also see a possible gouge above the tie to the side of the collar.

 

Please compare it to another coin . Just a part of the design . I agree .

 

Over polished die, or feeder finger gouges?

 

@SensibleSal66
Right here and it is not part of the design.

 

I see it,the little spike looking thing attached to Lincoln's jacket,interesting a die clash?.

 

Witness mark from the reverse die. Also a bit of a heavy engraving tool touch up. Pretty normal stuff.

 

Here is something similar.

 

Perhaps there is a tendency for die chips right there.

 

Thanks for all the comments. I think what I am seeing now is an over-polished die. It looks like much of the front of the coat has been removed.

More comments appreciated.

 

Looking at more 1964 D LMC's I am now leaning towards die crack/chip. Here are two more with the same condition.

 

I have since found 4 more 1964 D just as the 2 above.

 

Thanks for putting that photo with the red arrow up. I couldn't see anything you were seeing until that, but then I can't see all that well anyway. LOL

 

You are welcome. I have found 7 identical coins so far. I think it must be a die chip.
