I have seen numerous coins with the seated Lincoln in the monument either very weakly struck or missing. I was thinking it was probably a case of being Struck Through Grease.
A clear photo would help! If Lincoln is missing on the reverse, I am wondering if it could be the result of a heavily polished die, in addition to the other possibilities mentioned.
