Is the line incuse or raised? If it's raised, it could be an interesting plating bubble, but based on the fact it goes across the entire obverse, it could be something else as well.

Not an error, it is a linear plating bubble, common with zincoins

Looks more like a clash. The base of the memorial. Pushed that high, it could cross, rim to rim.
Can you give us a full coin shot of the reverse?
I'm probably wrong though, I would think you would see more of the design as strong as that is.

I'm seeing a long linear plating bubble. I've seen a few this long over the years, and many not quite as extensive. Nice example.

Thanks for the pic. I've seen a lot of clashes lately and think my judgement was clouded. I believe the guys are spot on with a plating bubble. I looked at clashes in similar areas and it would still be just short of reaching rim to rim, I think.

@loq, often times (but not always), you will be able to slightly depress a linear plating bubble with the end of a wooden toothpick.
Added: @make, a die clash was a reasonable thought, but remember that Abe's bust is inset in the die and a clash will only affect the highest features on the die (typically the fields). Therefore a die clash would more likely stop at Abe's head rather than progressing through it as on the OP's coin.

I need the occasional kick back in the correct lane every now and then, as my thought process is not always reasonable.  -makecents-

No kicking here. Only gentle nudges!  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

No an error, just a problem with the zinc core and plating. No premium, sorry.  |

The Ridge Ring is a deteriorating die issue. Both are just spenders. But knowing what you have for the next find. 1. Linear Plating bubble 2. Ridge Ring. Very common to see on the 1980's zinc cents. |
