Clarence Thomas' Liberty???


Is Clarence now working at the mint?

Looks like a pubic hair was on the planchet. I don't think it is a scratch because part of it seems to still be there.

The top most "mark/line" seems to be above the coins surface. It was hard to image. The bottom image shows it best, casting a shadow or reflection.

Is this something PCGS would grade as a mint error and if so, would it be worthwhile to submit?

    struck through thread.

    a piece of lint from a mint worker's rag stuck to the die during a wiping.

    What's on your mind DuPapa?

    That's the best I could come up with. I amused myself at least.

    From the replies I'll assume it's not worth submiting and my humor is feeble.

    It's OK DuPapa, 'progressive' posting has its place in a small corner here on the forum!!!

    I would hope that was struck through thread...thought people had to keep it clean in the mint.

    I like the struck through pube. Would make a great story.

    Most likely a piece of thread, I would imagine this is very uncommon for this series.

    Don't they inspect every single coin struck?

    The reference in the OP title completely eludes me... makes zero sense. Cheers, RickO
