 to CCF! That one is tough. It doesn't look like damage. In some ways, it looks like a die crack but, not really. It also looks like a die gouge but, again, not really. It does appear to be raised so, the only other thing I can think of is a random lamination problem.  My issue is that the line runs over the left side of the zero but under the right side. Maybe a die gouge is the best explanation.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

to the family! I agree with Spruett001, that has to be an indention on the die that has caused that. If a piece of metal had previously been struck upon another coin it is possible to have caused that type of indent into the die face, affecting coins minted after that. I'm a bit unsure also why the right side of 0 has no impression(raised). Only thing I can figure is that if it was a metal debris sliver, where the left portion was thicker and stronger, leaving the right side of 0 die face to sever in two...? Head scratcher for sure. Not the normal strike error. |

Keep in mind that the date is incused. I am no pro but it seems to be a struck through debris. The raised line on the right side of the zero could have simply worn away? I would like to read what coop has to say  John1  |

Struck through was my first thought too. Since it involves the date, that is a nice find. Good eyes  |

Since it is indented I'd go with struck through too. Picture is deceiving - makes it look like the date and problem area are both raised.

Doh!  I wasn't even thinking about the incuse date. Those rascally ATBs... I'll go with struck through debris as well. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
