It appears raised to me. It is casting a shadow in the same direction as the ear which is raised.

The first two photos are clear and it looks raised. The focus on the other two is enough to obscure actual light direction.

 - not seeing a definitive answer to whether it is raised or incuse. I for one say it is incuse by looking at the 3rd image. The first 2 have the light directly overhead and is creating shadows on both sides of the Lincoln device. |

Spender or keeper--it's entirely a personal decision.

For me - a spender, however it is a good example to learn from - so in that case a keeper.

The OP still hasn't answered if it's raised or incused.
