  The only thing I see is a die break in the upper 5 of the date.

  Above the date, under the chin is a raised area, hence the goatee. Liberty shows extra thickness, Lincoln's chin also shows some doubling, along with the top of the front of the coat. The date and MM show extra thickness and possible doubling (unsure if it's machine or not) you can also see it some on IN and WE. Pics are not the greatest but I don't have any real setup..just me a camera and a half-shaky hand.

  Correct. Also known as a "Bar 5".

  Might be a clashed die, resulting in the "goatee."
