Very nice looking error, but ... this reminds me of a damaged planchet before the strike.
Where the edge of the incuse area crosses the devices doesn't look "crisp" and sharp like I would expect a strike through to look.
That would also explain why it doesn't resemble any normal strikethroughs like lint, thread, bristle or etc.
This may be rarer than a strikethrough, especially on a proof.
I REALLY want to argue with you about your thought but don't think I can after looking at it again. Very nice looking error, but ... this reminds me of a damaged planchet before the strike.

What you say makes a lot of sense. It does look soft, not crisp as you stated, like a struck through should look. Much more like damage to the planchet and then being struck over the damage. That being said, I still kind of like my rim burr idea because of the crescent shape, just in a different timeline. Good eye, Dude!-makecents-
