My first thought is that it is a minor die problem.
Needs further investigation, perhaps examination under 100x magnfication, by a professional numistmatist. 10x magnification may still leave some doubt, because the picture we see here is certainly of good quality.
I believe I know what this is. When examining the coin closer, I saw the shadow of an O right behind the I in liberty. I guess that makes it a strike through error. Any thoughts?
The L is incomplete. The top of the I is not evenly pressed. Behind the I is the shadow of an O. I compared the R to other coins, but did not note any difference.
