Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 02/21/2026 10:02 am Hard to tell if it is raised or incuse. Shadows are inconclusive for me anyway. It could be a strike through.

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7505 Posts	Posted 02/22/2026 11:42 am I agree with strike through, looks most likely abroken off wire brush, it's a nice one. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6458 Posts	Posted 02/22/2026 1:32 pm Struck through lint. You can find quite a number of these errors on proof coins because apparently the Mint workers would wipe the dies with cotton cloths. I've always found it interesting that the striking force is so great that it can drive a thread into a silver or cupronickel metal surface. Report this Post to the Staff
