What I see is the die crack on the skull, possible doubling of the earlobe(?) and his eye look like it's closed(?).I apologize for the massive rectangle on the front of the coin.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74584 Posts	Posted 02/03/2019 11:41 pm Lincoln's earlobe shows Post Strike Damage ( PSD) on his ear froma well placed hit and the eye is normal. I have bad news about the mintmark. That's zinc rot setting in on it, from the mintmark having Split Plate Doubling, causing the zinc core to get exposed. There's also zinc rot setting in on the reverse as well. This is caused by damage (PSD, meaning that the damage happened after it left the U.S. Mint.) unfortunately, and there's probably no premium for your coin now, because of the bad zinc rot setting in. http://www.error-ref.com/split-plate-doubling/ Errers and Varietys.
