Clash.

 

I thought it might be. Thanks

 

Yup. One of the panes(?) on the memorial.

 

I could be wrong, but I thought clashes only showed on the field, since Lincolns head would actually be incuse on the die.

 

Clashes are fairly common in this exact location, sir.

 

Thanks

 

Of course. You asked a very reasonable question and was one I should have tried to better address. While correct about the head being a low point on the die, this specific area doesn't show that much relief, plus is protected from polishing, etc. Between the two this likely explains why this is fairly common and often shows on coins displaying no field clashing.

 

That makes sense (or cents). Thanks for the explanation,

 

Knowledge...
...I get awesome magnification lenses for .50/1.00 from old cameras/camcorders found at flea markets.
