But what we are seeing is on the tops of the devices, the lowest part of the die. If it were feeder finger die damage, it would have passed behind the building. Maybe a struck through a string. (not the tightly wound string) That is the only thing I can think of for this one?

I just emailed Mike Diamond the link, so he can look at the OP's coin and give us an answer. I'm looking forward to what Mike Diamond has to say.

The photos are great even when you click on them. What is your set up? John1  |

Looks like an image taken during the renovations of Monticello. The diagonal brace is there to keep the structure plumb and square. Meow wishes to find a coin like it one day. Thanks for sharing.

The raised line continues uninterrupted over the high and low relief areas of the design as well as the field. That suggests to me that we may be looking at a piece of hubbed-in debris. Debris that is hubbed into the working die will conform to the topography of the die, as this defect apparently does.

I physically hold a Sony Cyber shot 5.0, zoom in and use a magnifying glass and/or 10x and 20x loop. If I take enough shots I'm usually lucky to get good ones. Getting the light right and angle is very hard. I researched the CCF Glossary before posting as even after 10+ years of doing this, I am still a novice. The terms continue to throw me off. I also felt strongly it was too straight to be a die crack. Mike describes it very well. Quote:

Interesting anomaly strikes again during this nickel design era. Seen it on the obverse a few times, but first I recall seeing it on the reverse. Thanks, Doug.

You're very welcome! We've all learned something new as well. Thank you Mike Diamond! Now you can put it in a 2x2 coin flip and label it now. It will look great in your collection I bet! Errers and Varietys.

It's worth saving as a good example of a Die Gouge.
