This is a weird coin the whole way around. First the rim is thicker, wider, and higher. Then I can clearly see it was Struck Through Grease. Then it has some deteriation die ontop of his head. But the face looks like he got beat up in a boxing match?

Strange. I just found one very similar to this last night. a 1995 with the 5, and the I and T in Liberty almost undetectable. The rim is normal though.

I also forgot to mention his chin and neck are doubled also. I'm assuming MD there. But explainations on the face would be great.

Def. Looks like he took a few jabs to the face.

In the first picture. The lighting kind of makes it look like he is wearing a toupee. Poor Abe!

Are those clash marks in front of his face or just conveniently placed hits?

The cause would be a left hook
