Very interesting. I'm thinking post-strike damage. Not an error.

I agree with ijn1944. This appears to be a damaged coin.

Not an error - but sure is strange looking.. Looks like his face was shoved in from the right. I can see moved metal at the 'chin' area.

Looks like Abe got scalped and then did a face plant. But just damage - you can see how metal has been moved post-strike in those areas.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Displaced metal equals damage. Not an error. PMD.
