Hello all!

I have this 1968-D AUish Lincoln Cent that I found a while back, and I was wondering, do you guys think this is a die chip or something else? I just want to make sure I write the correct info on it's 2x2. Thanks in advance for the help!

Here's a Photoshop overlay of the Lincoln Memorial cent showing where clash marks could appear.

The shape suggest that this is Lincoln's chin and beard showing up between the columns. The shifted location of the clash looks like the dies were misaligned when this happened.
