from what I learned from Coop, if it's post mint damage, there would be raised metal along the indentation like if you would have scatched it with a razor blade. Right? Damage comes in many shapes and forms. Guidelines for damage should contain the word "USUALLY" - nothing is 100% accurate - usually  |

I don't see how this could be a struck through.
On the die the S is incuse and the flat field is in relief, so when striking the planchet anything in between the planchet and the die would be transferred more to the field and less to the S.
But here, it's the exact opposite with the effect being less on the field and more on the incuse (on the die) devices.

Would there be some possibility that it could have been on the planchet before the strike?

I wonder if there is a connection? As if whatever created the big scratches created many tiny scratches too?  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I don't know. What if something was on one of the rollers during the making of the planchet? The scratch would be wider on the taller devices and narrower on the field. What do you think? Plausible? I'm just throwing ideas out there.

Very nice images. Clear and well lit. Quote:
...It is strange that the rim of the coin wasn't affected at all. If the lines were on the type 1 planchet before it was sent to the "upsetting" machine, the linear anomaly would be eliminated on the proto-rim only. Then, as it was stuck, the lines could still be visible on the raised parts (design elements) of the coin as well as the fields. Quote:
Would there be some possibility that it could have been on the planchet before the strike? That is my thought. IMHO, these anomalies being parallel to the roller lines are a good indication that they are associated with the roller lines. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

PetesPockets55, I found something that may show that it was a scratch on the planchet before the strike.  This is at the rim just below the N in ONE next to the rim.  And this is at the rim just below the C in CENT. Notice how both scratches seem to be flattened (kind of folded over) from the strike. |

It also shows, IMO, that the scratch goes from north to south.
