    Not to sure what is in the 4th bay? Should I throw this one back? Thanks!

    Looks like a minor die clash. You're seeing the back of lincoln's neck.

          Yep, it's the little nook between his hair and his collar from a clash.

            Thanks!

            So would that be the reason why there is a lot of polishing marks on this coin? They tried to fix the die by polishing out the clash?

            Is this coin worth saving in a 2x2?

              Yes to the first question.
              No to the second question. (Not to me, anyway) You'll find a lot of these if do any regular searching.
