This lincoln came out of a uncirculated roll of the same date. All very nice coins, and then there is this one. Uncirculated and quite nice but if you look at Lincolns face , well it looks as if it has some die polishing stuff on it. I think? What do you think it could be? It did come out of an uncirculated roll!

    I believe it's damage, probably from being rolled.

    It's not lamination, or a struck thru, imo.

    Little known fact:

    In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln became the first president to strongly advocate the use of motorcycle helmets...
