There is something going on with Abe's bow-tie. not sure if its a die chip or some kind of doubling

and just for fun. The (heavily abrated) reverse looks like the maid hasn't visited the Lincoln memorial for awhile there are cobwebs in the corners of almost all the bay's.:LOL_Hair:

Lincoln was a Chevy man. Just look to the bow tie's for proof.

Wrinkled bow tie? Good eye you got there! It is a great error find.
If they would hire a maid that is tall enough to reach the corners of the columns maybe the cobwebs wouldn't build up like that.

so is the bow-tie a Die chip, crack, or DDD?

I think the bowtie is a DD... The way the neck and collar look and then the bowtie... I would believe DD... INP(I'm No Pro) tho!!!

Worth having a look at in hand. There have been anomalies in this area on other dates, most notably those in the middle to late 50's. This one almost appears to be some sort of design strengthening...maybe a re-engraving.

I see those cobwebs all the time. I think one of my first posts was about cobwebs :ooh:

The bow tie does look a little distorted though.
