Guybrush Valued Member Taiwan 192 Posts	Posted 10/29/2017 12:02 am I think it is quite unlikely that it is a die gouge: if you look closely at the reference image, there should be a very sharp and deep line near the eye, which means the die would have to be thin and highly raised (and fragile too) for that part. I guess that this part of the die breaks/chips so it leaves a raised line on the coin. Edited by Guybrush 10/29/2017 12:04 am Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 10/29/2017 01:37 am Since it is straight and equal lateral, it looks to be a struck through piece of debris, a metal shaving similar to a "rim burr". Report this Post to the Staff

Except that it is raised on the coin and not incuse, as a struck-through should be.
