Is there supposed to be two buttonholes on Lincoln's jacket on the 2009 D Lincoln Cent? I know there is one towards the edge of the lapel but I'm curious about the one under his bowtie.
The terminology you used is correct. Lincoln's lapel does in fact have a single button hole as part of the design. The second mark is just a contact mark from another coin and the shape and size of the mark does look like a second button hole.
I'm not sure why this was called into question.
