Possibly a spike with an IDB ? Kind of looks like a rat.

Very nice! Looks like the die crack bifurcates near the top of Lincoln's hair.

@mark1959--sorry for the use of jargon. It looks to me like the die break splits in two, with one part continuing pretty much straight down and the other part extending toward Lincoln's forehead.
