Neither, a strike through of something on the die.

Huh well now I got a better understanding. Is it worth anything other than a curiosity?

Something dragged itself across the die face, and in doing so deposited some crud on the surface of the die. The crud was deposited only on the field. Imagine a paintbrush being lightly stroked across a die face. Paint will only be left on the field portion of the die. In this case the "paint" was more like a mixture of grease and grit. I doubt it was left by a dirty feeder finger, as the direction is wrong.

In summary, this is a struck-through error.
Error coin writer and researcher.
