Could be a gouge on the die. But to be certain if it is actually raised or incuse, we need to know where the light is coming in from? If mostly from the E and slightly N, then it is possible the this anomaly is incused. Hard to tell - I guess I'm on the fence until the light source is verified. Collecting since 1972.

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 7:59 pm great pics, if it's raised, it must be a die anomaly, which suggests it is likely to also appear on some other 1992 proof quarters, but I suppose you already knew that Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96993 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 8:41 pm it definately looks raised - so not a dropped letter. but it looks like a split wire, maybe a silver thread from another coin that got pressed into the coin?
