Haven't had much free time to roll search over the last few months and when I've had a chance I hadn't turned up much until this little gem! Thanks for looking!   |

If it was a gouge from PMD you would see the silver colored zinc plantchet but seeing it is plated over, that area had to have happened before the copper plating process. How exactly it happened may remain a mystery. Edited by Mark1959

 You would also see the excess metal piled up, I would think. |

The ends are very abrupt, just like a struck through would look like. Possible struck through a rim burr? looks like able is wearing a hat? LOL

Coop, yep definitely struck through a Rim Burr. How do I know? Because it fang like in shape and it's round. I found one on a 2013 LSC. The rim is shaved off and the struck through is on his nose. Errers and Varietys.

There is a lesson here on how to tell if a device is raised or incuse:  Great example to note on how to tell the differences from light direction. Thanks for posting this Jake the Dog. |

I just see something that I've always wanted to cover on images provided on the forum. If I see it as a helpful image, I add them to the forum. So keep posting guys. It is a learning process here for all.

Awesome struck through!
Check the rim to see if you can tell where it was shaved off.
