Hi guy's. Roll searching and came across this newer cent. Besides the die chip and die crack on Abe's head, what is that "O" appearance on Abe's jaw? Thanks :)

    Abe had Cheerios on the day of the sitting and got one stuck i his beard... Just a guess

    Great pictures... Looks like a surface/plating anomaly, like a burst bubble prior to plating completion. Have seen similar in printed circuit plating operations. Cheers, RickO

    I'm hoping I or someone else comes across another identical one?

    How well centered is it?

    I am wondering if it may be a remnant of the die-making process. Before the design is pressed into the die by a hub, the die blank has a conical face. At the vertex of that die face, a small circle may remain after hubbing, if the die blank face is not polished well enough beforehand.

    It is a pretty well defined circle. Also, next to it looks like a half circle as well? I'll take closer shots later. Thanks :)
