Hi

This is not the best coin in the world but I believe it may be a DDR. With 30 + varieties I am not sure which it might be. There is a small bulge from the column to Lincoln's left like is shown in the images for DDR-006, 014, 023, 036 and 038. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the second of 2 I found.

Regards, Eric

The column looks like it took a hit which moves the metal away from the original print. Note the depression in the center of the hit.

Looks more like a die polishing issue. Sometimes the polisher will remove part of the edge of the area where the columns design. This reduction will appear as a raised area on the coin. (because the die was polished slightly into the depth of the column area)
