My first thought is a hit taken while the coin was being dumped into large poly bags for transportation/distribution. Two days ago I picked up a couple fresh LOOMIS-wrapped rolls of '22 D Maya Angelou quarters at my bank branch, I'd say at least 75% of them had some rather pronounced dings/hits/gouges. The remaining had dings of a lesser degree. The very best examples went into 2x2s. New coins take a beating as they are processed at the mints for distribution.

I believe it is a strike through. It doesn't have any displaced metal, so it isn't a contact mark/PMD.

I agree, it looks like a struck through error. Note the ends are pointed and definite.

I agree with a struck through. Rim burr maybe. Quote:

I think that is likely a strike through, maybe a wire brush strand that broke off or pre strike rim burr. the other things are contact marks and damage most likely, there's a lot of it in his hair for instance, A lot. that mouth corner is a bad angle and die chips are turning up there, makes Washington look like he's got a herpes sore. LOL I think this:  is the very beginning of this:  |
