Strike through or Lamination

The closeup makes it look raised, but it is indented.

Now you're going to tell me a mint employee lost his earring back in 1856, no, her earring.....no, his earring....no, her earring... 🤣 😂

It’s been like this for quite awhile. The toning is even over the whole area.

It looks like a strike through to me as well.

I never cease to be amazed at your photography! It’s just insane how good it is. 😦

@Mr_Spud may not be so far off. It’s probably die breaks around the ear, but it looks like an extension of the rectangle area.

@robec - That's amazing! I didn't see that die crack in the first picture. It really does look like an earring.
