2011 5oz. GETTYSBURG Error ??

Hi Thanks for any help on this 2011 5oz. Silver GETTYSBURG .
There is a good size groove under the letters from the E PL to the U in E PLURIBUS UNUM .
Is this a error ?? Would it be worth more or less then one without the groove ?

Are the letters incuse? Don't have one of those pucks, yet.
Appears to be a die scratch to me (if the letters are raised).
I would not pay extra for it, but others may.

Maybe what was struck through wasn't that thick.
Small errors need a visually appealing cool factor to bring a premium. I don't see this bringing a premium.

Then Tom is spot on with his assessment.
The piece has PMS. (Post Minting Scratch)
The name is LEE!
That being said judging from the photo provided I find it hard to believe the letters are incuse. Notice the bottom of the letters have a highlight and the top have a shadow, how would this be possible on an incuse?

Ahh.
My brain was not functioning when I wrote that.
A struck through piece of matter would have been mashed down into the incuse letters. Therefore it is what it looks like: scratch.
Brain more on today.
