Riff, im using mobile phone camera 8megapixel. This is only picture I can provide.
Noted from right 2nd pillar to the 4th pillar but huge on 2nd pillar and the initial G bigger than ever.
i think you are seeing a plating issue. you really need to work out the settings on your cameraphone, or get a real camera. you need to adjust the ISO to reduce glare, and you need something with a macro setting. you can shoot through a loupe and get good enough pics that way. you can upload the images to photobucket or any such hosting site, and crop them, re-size them, sharpen them, rotate them, etc....
I'll preface my response by saying the quality of the pictures make a definitive assessment impossible, however, I see a normal G for 1993. The font for the initials changed in 1993, but you probably know that already? If not, look at this link: http://varietyvista.com/Lincoln%20Ce...%20Changes.htm
As for the 2nd column, it looks like either split plating or some corrosion, which also appears elsewhere on the reverse. Photos give a lot of people trouble. You can buy a cheapie usb microscope with built-in camera for 30 dollars, which will allow you to get suitable photos. Good luck.

The new photos don't help a lot unfortunately as we still need a closer look at the area in question. It does seem to show enough that I agree with the plating issue theory suggested by others. In addition, circulation is also a factor with coins like these.
