the bent pillar on the end looks like it could be an error to me,
if not for the color damage.



if it's a true error, you should be able to find other similar examples online.
die breaks normally cause short runs before caught

on the obverse , nice counterstamps.
definitely a keeper because of the counterstamps either way

"The hole in Lincoln's head" Is depicting the area of the gun shot that he received by the .44cal. (except it was the left side)

"He was seated in a private box when shot with a . 44-caliber bullet fired from a Derringer at close range. The bullet entered the back of his skull to the left of the midline and just above the left lateral sinus (a large venous channel that drains blood from the left side of the brain),"

That is pretty crazy... the location of the hole and a pool of “blood” on the reverse. I’m failed certain it’s not a mint error. You have one of a kind

Post mint alterations. AKA "fake".

Just damage, but interresting.

Does the damage on the pillars line up with the punch hole in lincolns head? Punching a piece of metal will often damage the other side.

no !

Hole

The Hole looks like a Punch was Used


Almost Looks like maybe Nic-o-Date acid was poured on the Pillars

Damage could have been done accidentally if a Wide Vice was used to put the L on
And it Squeezed that part. But Acid or Something was added for some reason (maybe even as Mentioned Above,
To Represent Blood, Or even damage to the white House)
Which Completely Ruins any Chance of Proof of a Mint Error. "Altered After it left the Mint"



Sort of Like Cleaning the Tarnish off a Mini Ball & Trying to Prove its Civil War Era.

as I Said a Keeper for the Counterstamps


Pressure Damage.
