However, looking under power, it's actually a struck through error. Might be a piece of wire, there's also some evidence on the top of the dome as-well as in the field. Just something I thought was interesting and worth sharing! Report this Post to the Staff

(proof coins and SMS nickels were struck twice) Thus anomaly happened twice on your coin. Probably first on the field, then it moved to the building area as it is deeper into the die and struck a second time bending the wire. Report this Post to the Staff
