I really think this one might be a rotated die. I'm working on an overlay to show you what I see. It's tough to do on my phone... Lol... but that's definitely the bottom of his jacket rotated and stamped on the top of his head. Look inside the red line in this picture, you can see a faint outline of his chin with the line going to that spot.
That's a Lamination error. Nice find and congratulations! Those things that you're seeing is not Lincoln's jacket or chin. They are just stains, not errors.
Have my doubts about a lamination. Because it resides in the deep depression of the bust, and doesn't extend into field, this is a struck through piece of copper foil. Not a whole lot of premium, maybe $2.
I agree with crazybo, struck through copper foil. Probably not a rotated die either. Only way we could tell is if we see the obverse and reverse. It's too hard to explain how you could tell yourself.
I invested in a macro lens. Here are some better pics. If you look at the "NIT" of united you can see the rotation of the letters. You can also see the lines going down his face and chin.
