First, TIA for helping. I am a new here. I have been collecting for a while, but only recently came into some slabbed Silver Eagles that I took a look at.

I have a run of ten (graded MS70 by NGC, go figure) that all show a virtually identical gouge on the REV on the banner near the eagle's right shoulder. I tried to capture in different lighting - when the lighting/reflections are low I can make out what appears to be an impression under the material that has been removed. Two of them also have a mark on the shield. I presume these are big nothings (not an error, machine created, etc.) but I would like to know how to classify them.

(I did not rotate the pictures of the close ups because it was easier to see, at least for me, the "line" details in the area of removed material)

OK will post a series.

Could it be a small strikethrough?

(I apologize for posting in the wrong forum initially).

Here is a series of ten shots from the run I have. The first is the slab with the lowest # (probably means little I know).

Thanks for the help.

No worries, it happens all the time with the new folks here, (the forum can be confusing at times,)
(I had asked to have it moved for you so it will be seen by people that specialize in this area.)
Thanks for the extra images. I'll have to take some time to examine each one and I'll get back with a comment or 2.

Now all these are incuse, right? I see subtle differences between all of them, but the one main thing I do note, is the raised bit of metal at the edge of these anomalies. It is like something hit this area after the strike, but before it left the chamber.

Lets see what others have to say..

@Dearborn thanks for looking and the questions.

If I hold them at an angle, I can see what appears to be two linear looking "steps." In 8/10 of them there is material to the "south" side of the feature that has been pushed up into a little ridge line. For the other 2/10 there is no ridge line of material (but the feature looks the same).
