The obverse is showing circulation wear--hence the odd ear. The reverse shows--given the photo posted--the edges of the chair that Lincoln is seated on.

tjhohnson35 , in the future if you have any other questions please be more specific . If you would have mentioned the issue was on the reverse you would have not had this confusion with responding members .

Ever see Abe's face on the statue? I found once:

This was the next coin I looked at after I found a new DDR on a 2002-D.

Abe didn't look happy. I tried rotating the image and the only way it is seen is in that position.

I'd definitely keep that one. It is just wear and strike characteristics as others have mentioned but it is interesting.
