Finding this coin in the shop today, I was immediately struck by something in the shield I've never seen before--a distinct, raised line in the lower part of the shield. To my eyes, that doesn't appear to be a die chip, but a mark that was struck into the die across several shield elements (see arrows). Has anyone seen this mark before on the 1922 3d?

Thanks for your input!

KurtS where's the Emu's leg that rests on the shield it's a bit hard to see,is it still attached
O.K. I've put the cursor on the image and can see it now and it's still there so I still believe it's a die scratch and the first I've seen on the 22 tray.

Edited for conformation on the Emu's leg

Checked all my 1922's, no sign of the bar.

I'm glad I found something interesting--I consider this a pretty dramatic mark.
Perhaps a file mark, or something punched directly punched into the die?
Usually file marks I see show smaller, parallel scoring. I should take a closer look.
