This is not my coin, but I'm watching it. This mark above the right side of the cap caught my eye. It looks like a deliberate marking by someone's hand. Speculation only, but that's what my gut says. What say you? Deliberate graffiti or something else?

Could be a strike thru or a random scratch. Nice coin.
Strike thru I'd say

Struck through a bent sliver of metal.
I can't tell from the pics but is it raised?

Looks like a strike through to me.
Impossible to be sure from those pictures. Gut feeling is deliberate graffiti.
Nice coin. O.103. 53/55.
Looks like a strike through to me.

I am with the majority that it is a strike through.
In my mind, I immediately thought 'strike through' when I viewed the magnified image. Cheers, RickO
It looks like a deliberate mark to me, but it’s not bad enough to give the coin a “details grade,” only a lower grade.
It does look like it.

Looks random enough to be a strike through.
