Prison bars can be seen on photo of date and also Abe must be crying as he needs a tissue for his nose.

Can you post a picture of the full obverse? Unless you have a MAD die clash, the columns of the memorial shouldn't overlap the date. I'm also not sure what the curved bar adjacent to Lincoln's bow tie could be.

I noticed that also. The die is not rotated so I am not sure what is going on with this one. Maybe that is why Abe's nose is running, he is in tears trying to figure it out!

It might be a small piece of foil that was struck onto the coin and then fell off depending on how this loks up close. You can see it a bit on the shirt as well. If it is raised, then the foil might still be there. If it is lower (incuse) then it may have fallen off.
