Ok need some help here,

I haven't seen this before... Missing lips neck and chest and 'Y" in Liberty and "1" in date are light hit.

Reverse looks normal.

Thinking polish or grease... or?

Although I think mine has a die break? or "extra hair" or "spike" going through the top of his hair... or possibly just more remains of his original hair than the one Copp has pictured.

I am guessing no premium here... just collector value. Gonna keep it with my polished "no neck" Lincoln Cent...

Nice job @eye4error figuring this out--you can see now I think how powerful the CCF search engine can be.

I'd save it for educational purposes to share with new collectors in your area. Help them to understand die polishing. (how it reduces the size of the die as the fields are removed)

Thanks everybody!

I am pretty proud of myself for figuring it out as well!

Yes... this community has lots of info. I have been trying to utilize the search feature more... (It maybe wasn't as useful when I started out, because I was still trying to learn the terms and the production process... often wasn't sure what to search for?)

Still haven't found a good DDO / DDR yet... I am still getting my bearings on what and what not to look for ;)

I am even starting to feel confident enough to try to answer other new members posts, when I think I know the answer.

Will be a year in February since I started learning about coins. And although I still have a lot to learn... I am learning a lot!

Thanks again for all of you help in furthering my understanding!
