@coin, that could be a die gouge. Can you pls confirm that this region is raised? Thx.

I was having a hard time finding it on the full coin shot but think you rotated it 90 degrees. Does not take much to confuse me.  Maybe a retained struck through? -makecents-

Yes Makescents, I rotated the closeups. The feature runs vertically from lapel to jacket. It's raised and almost has a familiar shape. Odd place for a gouge to I'd say.

Could be as simple as misplaced metal too. Looks like there is a large chunk gone out of the cheek bone area, PSD. -makecents-

Looks like struck thru wire to me. but, if it were a struck through, it would be incuse. The OP states that it is raised above the device. I'm going for a die gouge on the presumption that it is raised. |

It weighs 3.10 g and as noted there is some damage to the cheek but that seems unrelated. Do you guys think this is a "retained" piece of wire or that the die was imprinted with the wire and transferred that impression to the coin?

I do not think it is a retained wire,that would increase the weight. The die could have been damaged maybe and then transferred the die damage to the coin. Or just some kind of die gouge. John1 |

If were talking about the lapel, that looks like a thin die chip or in incuse mark on the lapel that pushed the metal a bit.
