    After some research, I'm thinking maybe struck through a detached piece of reeding or a "bezel"......??

    Check out the "C" in "Cent." Now, think how the "line" can go UNDER the letter and also ON TOP and THROUGH IT.

    It is also useful for you to recognize, your bank doesn't get it's coins "straight from the mint." The Federal Reserve Bank or other coin processors will receive very large bags of coins from the mint and they will wrap them and distribute to the banks.

    The time in the bag and at the Federal Reserve or coin processor is likely where your damage occurred.

    I don't see anywhere on the Mint's website where they are selling $25 lots of new cents.

    It's different on different devices, which is weird....So are you saying that this means it's for sure PMD, or for sure not PMD?
