A "larger" picture won't do any good. You need to take a photo of it straight on, not at an angle. Then you need to find the letter or number it matches. I can tell you it's not the 1 of the date because it's way too small. The letter you are trying to match it to would have to come from that coin - possibly the "I" of "IN". It's too small to be the "I" of "LIBERTY".
The point here is this...if you took a quarter and pressed it into clay, then took it out of the clay, the circle it would make would match exactly to the size and shape of a quarter. Anyone else could take a pocketful of change and size it up and tell the circle was made by a quarter. You are essentially going to have to do the same thing, only with the features on that coin. Find something that matches perfectly with the indentation, then you'll know whether it's struck through a dropped filling.
If it doesn't match up exactly with something on the coin, then it's struck through a metal fragment of some other sort. There's no guess work about it, the concept is very simple. Either way, it's a struck through and is worth at least a modest premium value.
