2009 P Lincoln FY - (2 questions?)

My first question is regarding the anomaly under Lincolns chin on obverse... What is this? Second question is regarding the oversized lettering in united and states on the reverse. Is this an error or some type of DD. Thank you in advance for any feedback!

And the two questions would be?

 

Edited. Thank you for viewing!!!

 

Thanks, now I wish I could help. I mostly hit the error section to learn myself, I am sure the error guys will be along.

 

Second question, normal strike.
First question, appears to be a die crack and/or lamination issue.

 

Looks like a Clash.
Here is the Overlay image

 

Agreed no doubt a clash.

 

Are we viewing the same coin?

 

Yes. That's one of the 2009 Formative Years Lincoln Cents. You can see on the OP's coin Lincoln sitting on a log with book in hand.. Same as my overlay.

 

I guess I have to get a new prescription for my glasses because I see(?) no die clash. Could you help me out and point out what I do not see?

 

@Robert Ransom you are seeing Lincolns shirt (the chest area) from book to the shoulder.

 

Definitely a nice clash.

 

??????????? Is this a set-up?

 

Thank you for all the feedback! I'm guessing this would be considered a cool find?

 

Do you see anything at all in the pics?

 

Sure, some of the lettering on the reverse looked a little flattened. I did see what I thought might be a clash by Lincoln's chin but didn't have the confidence in my limited error skills to say so.

 

It is quite uncommon for a zinc cent to clash. Even the shield cent has very few known. The rest of the coins surfaces show that this isn't a plating issue.

Can you take a better photo don't of the center reverse?
Don't use the zoom function stabibize the camera and get as close as you can to have a clear shot. I would imagine there is more evidence.

 

@paddyman98 is freakin' awesome!

 

Thank you PandG! I will try to post better pics as you described as soon as I can.

 

I hope these photos are going to help....
