See the attached pictures.
I have a 1993d Lincoln with a knot on his temple.
I have three Lincolns 77d/84d/85d with the left corner of the lower part of the Memorial chopped off.
I have eight Lincolns 77/(2)78d/80/81d/82/(2)83 with a square item between the 3rd and 4th colums.
How awesome this that!!!!
I think this occurred at the Mint.
Any opinions on the above?

Two things I want to suggest....

1. Try to separate your findings into different posts.
2. Try to, if you can, get enlarged photos of the area only, in question.

In short, this will provide you with better quality answers and quality probing questions.

From what I can see, and I don't know much in this hobby as of yet, I'm not sure anyone can make a synopsis of what is happening.

But the Lincoln Gods have been known for peering eyes into the unknown abyss...so maybe once again I'm wrong:tinysmile_hmm_t:

Pic 1. Likely a bubble.
Pic 2. Looks like post mint damage (PMD)
Pic 3. Clash.

Lara's suggestions are spot on.

The third pic looks like a die clash, not sure on the others! I've seen the rolling machines take off the lower left of the memorial, but can't see it in the pic's! :tinysmile_hmm_t:

Pic 1- either a die break or plating oxidation from the elements/ chemicals. can't tell from the pic.
pic 2- Looks like die deterioration between the lower right corner of the memorial and the rim, if thats what you are referring to.
pic 3- die clash

Lara made some very good suggestions.

First two photos can't tell. Last photo in bays 3&4 appear to be a die clash of the back of Lincoln's jacket.
