Looks like a hammer job or a vise job.

Kind of strange that it looks like the coat is on top of the memorial. Seems like if it was glue, that would't be the case, but I have seen stranger things on here that have resulted from PMD. |

If it were a glue job wouldn't the memorial part be higher than the obverse side of the coin.

I'm not real educated on this stuff, but could it be some kind of drop. (grease)

In the pictures I'm seeing shadows from the glue reflecting down on Lincoln.Last picture shows it pretty well. That in itself tells me the glue is on top of Lincoln

Kind of shines like glue on the right side of Lincoln.

Logically speaking glue does seem to be the culprit on this coin but it still doesn't explain the part over the memorial.

Acetone and watch the obverse memorial disappear!
What part over the memorial? On the reverse memorial or obverse one? Reverse memorial is weak/grease struck

That's an odd one. I have no glue what it could be.

Lincoln looks like he's wearing a collar for a broken neck.

I agree with glue. Quote:

Good idea. If you're still not sure, give it an acetone bath. It won't damage the metal, but if it's just glue you'll be able to tell. |

It is. Note the bay that chipped in the center of the neck/collar area? Just glue. This may have been done years ago covering part of the plating that hadn't change color?

It got "behind the collar" as part of the glue peeled.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I guess it was just another sticky situation Lincoln got himself into.
