This coin had an arrow pointing to the bottom right side of the Lincoln's jacket on the obverse. When I magnified it, I see 1. a horizontal raised area on the jacket devise at the bottom right edge, 2. above that a diagonal-ish raised "chip?" and then 3. what looks like an upside down, capital T right underneath the right edge of the coat. At the top of the obverse, he had an arrow with a little colored in circle pointing towards what looks to me like PSD dot between GOD an WE.    |

The curved area going from behind head to lapel is coin rim contact, a substantial one, looks like a vise job. That "raised area" under bust may be an edge of die chip OR a plating bubble. Only way to tell is apply pressure (lots) to see if pops like a zit. Third thing it just maybe is a reverse die clash, need to see all the coin, both sides, left and right of bust and bays on reverse.  There are other indications around rim of die clash!. Fairly sure it is a reverse die clash, tops of T, A, E (see overlay left) Edited by Crazyb0

Pretty sure you have a front & back clash. There looks to be something in bay 2, the fields in front of face(behind ?) Show some aggressive polishing, what's directly across from mouth near rim, a dimple? But pretty sure those around the rim are die clashes the polishers missed. Don't see those very often!

Two more close ups. I think I see what you see by the lips and behind his head parallel to the lips but on the Reverse, I haven't found the design element naming that I had found before so I don't know what "bays" are.   |

John1, Interesting on Prisoner Cent! I have to thank Crazyb0 for finding that as I would have never seen it and still have a hard time seeing it on the Reverse. Did find the design element names from a video by Richard S Cooper.  |
