Does anyone else see a faint "P" on the side of his neck? But it's minted D? What could have caused this?

Nope and I can barely barely see it with my naked eye, but it also looks like a rigid mark down his cheekbone too?

It is incuse. Note the reflection on the coin? Light is coming from the SE. Light is on the left side of the devices. (Note the front of the face) Then note the area in question. The light is show on the right side of the devices. Indicating it is sunk into the coin. (incuse into the coin)

So what do you think about it? I know it's hard to tell since it's so small, but is it PMD?

The Reed Marks on the cheek tell me the coin was damaged after the coin was struck. There is nothing on the die that should make this happen. It might be contact from another coin or just coin damage from another coin that created that mark in that area? Sometimes light can be deceiving. It can make it appear one thing in one direction and go away when turning the coin a bit. I found that true on a coin years ago. At one angle it looked like something, then turning the coin it sent away.  Abe doesn't look happy here. But turn the coin and take another shot it went away. So on your coin I'm think it was some form of damage to the coin. Especially with the Reed Marks on the cheek.

It looks like PSD to me on both areas.
