  I don't know either.... but Lincoln looks like a jockey after a muddy run at Churchill Downs.

  My humble '63 mint registry set, not much, but it's mine!

  << <i>Poor storage? Replaced in the mint set? This looks like Lincoln didn't get shot by John Wilkes Booth in the theater but possibly more like Pee Wee Herman.
  
  Sorry about the photography. This is not exactly a coin you waste a lot of time with.
  
  Also note the same goofy mint mark as on my other post, the 79 Kennedy.

  I noticed that too and took a loupe to it. It's debris inside the holder. Makes me think this set was cherry picked and junk put back in. The quarter in this set is awesome but something very wrong happened to the penny.
