No signs of a die clash on the obverse. Detail is sharp, and I see no signs of Die Deterioration. It looks like a fresh obverse die to me, replaced after a die clash damaged the earlier one.

Faint hints of a die clash here -- Lincoln's collar and facial features between the columns of the memorial. A faint disturbance in the luster field at the bottom of the reverse in the pattern of Lincoln's silhouette. And a bit of a curved indentation on the memorial steps under the right planter.

I think I may have found my new favorite type of error.
Rest in Peace

I threw some arrows on it for you. Remember, I had you pegged as over a decade younger in your contest!

It helps to have the overlay open on screen when I double check these guys. The arrows point out the gap between the collar and head in bay 4, the chin to mouth gap in bay 9, and the curve of the nose on the steps. You can follow the slight difference in how the light bounces off the bottom to match Lincoln's head.

This one is tougher than the 1984 for sure. But I did find two more last night that are even tougher to see than this one. If I post that one, I'll get the arrows up in the original post!
