    Looks like a scratch.

    I'd give you the world, just because...

    Speak to me of loved ones, favorite places and things, loves lost and gained, tears shed for joy and sorrow, of when I see the sparkle in your eye ...
    and the blackness when the dream dies, of lovers, fools, adventurers and kings while I sip my wine and contemplate the Chi.

    I would clasify it as a scratch. Bob

    It could be a partial clip. If it has the same line on the reverse that's what it is. If the line is only on the obverse, it looks like a deep scratch that was on the planchet when it was struck. The scratch is too continuous to have been placed on the coin after it was struck.

    I can't be an incomplete punch (incomplete clip). The groove is almost straight. An incomplete punch should have the same curvature as a cent blank.

    I can't tell for sure whether it's pre-strike or post-strike damage. From my vantage point it looks more like post-strike damage.

    It has 2 little lines on the back side running the same direction around the same area as the front.I have to wait until it gets light outside because i don't want to turn the lights on and wake everyone up..

    Could it have been struck through a hair or a small piece of wire?
