That would most likely be a die gouge seeing it is raised.
EDIT: Talking about the "DIE BREAK" you mentioned

What get me is the scratches are not on top of the die break or the arm.

Maybe a possible Die Clash?
Errers and Varietys.

I can't really tell from the pictures but those "Scratches" may be die polishing lines as they are on the fields (flat surfaces) and not the details (raised areas) of the coin. EDIT: The only other thing I can think of is possible Feeder Finger Damage. But those would be raised too. Edited by Marv65

Here's a couple more pictures and they are definitely not on the head arm or torch. Hopefully one day I'll find something?   |

It appears to be a die gouge of some sort, maybe from a feeder finger like Marve said.

 to the CCF Appears to be proud of the coins surface so some sort of scratch into the die. We may never know the exact cause of the die scratch. In the future, please take a moment to orient your photos so that the 12:00 position is straight up. It's visually distracting to examine side ways images and generally makes me want to just move on and not comment. |

Can we get an overlay to rule out a clash? I think it may line up with the collar of the President's shirt and coat.

Can you post up an image of the reverse properly oriented and not all sideways please?

Here this is the best I can do  Now obviously the two coins in each image are not at the same scale so the distance may look off. And it looks like there may be Feeder Finger Damage as well as noted by Marve65   |

Maybe a possible Die Clash? Yes, I agree with E&V and Dearborn. Almost all of the Feeder Finger Damage that I have seen presented on this forum consisted of straight, parallel lines. Those squiggly curves in the field look much more clash-like. Having looked at some recent die clashes on quarters, you sometimes need to take a steep angle to the coin face, rotate the coin face, and vary the position of the camera to the light. The thickest lines can be easy to seek, but the webwork of more subtle clashing will take some effort to reveal. |

Well, here is the confirmation. This is a 2007 John Adams $1 coin in an ANACS certified slab, mint error die clash. Marks in the exact same position on both obverse and reverse. Congrats on a really cool find! =) https://www.ebay.com/itm/354907762080 |
