1996 D cent, Lincoln with a mole.

That this was pretty cool. There appears to be a mole NW of his mouth.

That's because he actually had a mole NW of his mouth.

 

Right where it should be

 

Lincolns are great for that. I have a 1953S with a break on the nose that looks like a big wart.

 

Out of all the pennies I've seen, this is the first one I've seen it on. Is it common to find them on pennies?

 

I don't see it in later dates, that I look
at so far. I don't know if its a design
change or a die break. If it was a design change why doesn't it appear on later dates?

 

Shows up better on the different dates I have seen it on. You can still see it on this 2001 D example

 

Okay, I didn't know they changed
the design except to make his beard look like a garden. Actually, I didn't know
that was a mole either that we see in photos. I always thought that was part of a knife scar.
