Hard to tell from picture if line is incuse or raised
but I'm guessing it is incuse.
If mark is incuse, it is a scratch.
If raised, it is a die crack.

It could be Feeder Finger Damage from a malfunctioning Feeder Finger.

I'm thinking rhis is well within the year range for Feeder Finger Damage to occur in this direction. This is the reverse of 1937-s ddo-001 that has Feeder Finger Damage as a marker.

Educate me.
Does Feeder Finger Damage not usually show more than one line
parallel to each other or is it possible to have a single line as FF damage?

The quantity can very just depending on the Die. All the ones I have seen or found run diagonally. You should be able to search the formum JimmyD for Feeder Finger posts so you can see some good examples. I have found them on cents, dimes and quarters so far.

Thanks CCL.
I have seen FF damage before but I always thought that
there was a least two parallel lines to indicate it.
That's why FF damage never crossed my mind.
Always try to learn something new every day so I guess
this is todays lesson.

So these are just scratches which is PMD.

FF die Scratches = raised as well. I have a few posts of my own with FF die scratches in particular some BU dines that I had gotten last year.
