2008-P Lincoln Memorial Cent Error?

Just guessing here, but I would say it's a die clash,looks like it's part of a column to me.I have found a lot of these in various dates.

I am not saying just what this is as it is tough to be sure from the picture. I would like to clear up a misconception.

When there is a die clash on a Lincoln Cent, The high points of the die are the areas that are effected.

On the reverse die, the bays of the memorial and not the columns are what causes the damage to the obverse die.

The marks that occur on the obverse are caused by the bays between the columns and not the columns themselves. The bays are a high point on the reverse die that clash with the obverse die. The columns are a low point on the reverse die. You actually see what is outlined by the columns....The bays of the Lincoln Memorial.

Also, the area just under the ear is a higher point on the obverse die and we often see clash marks under the ear as that high spot on the obverse die is effected by the die clash.

Thanks,
Bill
