Pretty nice 85. Check out Lincoln's hair stile.

An Afro or perhaps a halo. Any thoughts on what it is? Perhaps some debris trapped between the zinc core and the copper plating?

I thought of halo also. I actually have one that it looks like an halo. I have no idea what caused that. It has to be something between the plating.

I can also see Split Plate Doubling on the mintmark. The so-called "afro" is probably a plating issue. Very funny!
