Are the columns doubled on the reverse? What do you think caused the horizontal lines across Lincoln on the obverse? Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Coop, look at the space between pillar 7 and 8 (from the left to the right). I think he is talking about that bulge thing?

Yes she is RoyCoinBoy. I've just gotten my first usb microscope. Seeing so much detail is new to me and even with comparing coins on the internet I'm struggling and need a little help. I'm new at all of this.

There are two rows of pillars in the monument. Since the design was done in perspective, the second row of pillars (behind the first row) are offset a little bit to give a 3-D look to it. Normal part of the design.

That area is part of the design. The 12 columns and 11 bays, have 4 with the same double column to give the effect of a second row. Not the arrows on the image above. That is part of the design. When the die is over polished, then these areas can be affected by reduction of those columns. So what you are seeing is/should be part of design. Like the missing over polished devices that disappear, you is still showing these normal design columns. Hope this helps.

I think I see part of the memorial steps on the obverse going through his face horizontal

That is linear plating bubbles. If it were steps, it would not run over the tops of the devices. Just the fields usually touch during a clash. So the outlines of the devices are all that usually affected during a clash. There is a DDR where the steps show on the bays. But that was caused during the hubbing process.
