  If two are currently listed for sale with similar die breaks, I will assume it is fairly common and not a collectible variety.

  Even the photo in the Guide Book of US Coins (RED BOOK) has that same feature. Do they all look like this?

  You're not talking about Lincoln's left eyebrow/ridge are you? That's normal.

  PS--if you are talking about the left eyebrow/ridge, that odd feature was discussed a bit here in 2007.......just read down a bit on the thread and you'll find it as well as a link about Lincoln's facial deformity.........
