I think it looks like struck through wire. See what others say.

Agree. I'm thinking post-strike damage--a scratch.

Thanks everyone, I was 99.9% certain it was a scratch or some form of damage, but that little part of me hoped for something more lol. Cheers

 Looks like a cut on the coin like from a utility knife. Also, too many photos. John1  |

Sorry about the photos! Just tried to get a lot of different angles. And I have just two more to add, promise. Now before I close the case on this, I have a close up on one end of the rim. It looks like a perfect circle #11093;#65039; on the bottom of the scratch. And additionally, I added what is hopefully a more fine picture of why I thought this is a wire. The damage looks like it goes over the letter U and not into it and just looks like a wire to me. Could this have been from a wire of some sort and the damage is a result of pulling it out after the process?   |

@mez, you take amazingly good close-up pics. Well done.
This still looks like damage to me though.

Alright alright, I give lol. I'm new to looking at coins and just started looking for errors (double die still is tricking me a lot), but did read about strike thru wire errors once before so was really hoping this would be the case.
Ah well, much to learn. And before I forget, thank you @coop for the info and detailed pics. It will help me in the future from staring to much at what just ends up being a scratch lol

Ya, I'm sorry to say that I agree with an intentional scratch. Deep and very straight, maybe done with a straight edge to assist. However! I have to say !!! and WOW! extremely nice close up pictures! WELL DONE! |

I really hope you still have your quarter... As wise as these all knowing people are who are never wrong..  . You indeed have a strike error. Just found one yesterday and I'll post pics in a little while. I'd like to know how you all think it's a razor blade when both sides match.. itd be very difficult to cut a coin, flip it over and cut it at the exact same location as the other side with no human erros, maybe a samurai master that can cut within a cut like 10 or 15 times.. idk. |

Where do you see a cut on the obverse of this quarter? It is only on the reverse.

Coin scratch. Note the trench? That is where the damage happened. On the raised areas on the outside edges of the trench, that is where the metal was moved during the damage. If it were a die crack, then there would be no trench and the void area on the die will be raised:  |
