Its not something struck into the coin because it would not be raised. any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/14/2015 5:47 pm What you are seeing is called flat field doubling. The proof coins are struck twice (Sometimes more) and if the alignment is not exact, it pushes the previous a bit. Here is another example of a doubled die with also flat field doubling: Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/14/2015 6:23 pm If it is raised, it might be a die crack? If it is incuse, then it maybe damaged/struck through? But it is not a 6. It is way to small to be a 6. Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 01/14/2015 6:35 pm im thinking its caused by a small thread like object stuck between the hub and die when the die was made, that would explain the fact that it is raised. another example of this happening is the night crawler Ike dollar.

Aside the fact that it's nowhere near large enough, the date on a die is incuse. There's nothing to break off a die to make that impression as a strikethrough. Something put a scratch into the die, either an accidental gouge or a sliver of strikethrough, and you're seeing the result on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/15/2015 12:48 pm Looks like possibly a hub through of a piece of lint on the right arm of the T. A hub through is like a strikethrough on a coin, it causes a slight depression in the die. This depression in the die creates a slight raised line on the finished coin. Report this Post to the Staff
