Best to also post a full obverse and reverse pic so we can see the overall condition of the coin. Looks to have just taking a hit, I see what looks like displaced metal NW of the area in question.

Need a wider-shot photo. Looks like a zombie from planetary system X9.

The original posted images look nothing like the reply images posted by coop, Lincoln hase not nose or mouth, I have never seen another like the original post photos, can anyone show a real example matching it?

Again, to me it looks like it took a hit to that area, displacing the metal and creating the effect you're seeing with the missing nose/mouth. Won't find an example showing the exact same issue if it's just damage.

You mention that it took a "hit" and it's just damage...Yeah damage perfectly on the face and nowwhere else, I don't believe that. Is there an error expert that can tell me exactly without a doubt why it is not an error?

Well it would also be helpful to post a full obverse and reverse photo, as I mentioned before. Certainly helps us to see the entire coin. All we have to go on is what you've provided.
Could also just be strike weakness. That portion of the device is very small, and at a high point of the design, those are areas most affected by strike weakness.
Full obverse and reverse shots of the coin, and a little less attitude (we're just trying to help) are beneficial on this forum.

Lincoln's face and the surounding fields are shown quite clearly, it's a matter of whether the face is an error. A person with knowledge should be able to tell from the image. The "Normal" images that coop provided show only Lincoln's face, I just want to verify an error. Why is that so diffucult?
