@ker, Abe's profile looks pretty normal to me, especially on a nicely circulated coin nearly 100 years old. Was there something specific that you are seeing with the coin in hand?

Think it was the top of the chin that caught me originally. Almost looks split

Agree with all above--heavy circulation wear (including hits from long ago, worn 'soft' over time).

Back then not a lot of coins were saved until about 1934. Most of these coins were circulated a lot and worn very thin. Probably the only period of the lowest grades of coins:

1926-Lincoln-Wheat-Penny-With-Errors-Or-Damage-Face-Area
You can see how worn they become. Back then it was not something you chucked into the parking lot. (Which probably was created for many years later. It was probably 1 cent still to send a letter. (In 1964 it was 4 cents to send a letter)
