Nice struck-thru error on 1961-D Washington

Deep too!
Given the crazy cost of slabbing errors at PCGS I am guessing this is best left raw?

That is a major error. As it's in a Mint set that makes it more desirable - at least to me. Some of the TPGS will put "Mint Set" on the label to indicate where it came from. The cost for that is very cheap. I think I'd leave it in the Mint package.
Strike-through or imperfect planchet?
What ever, it's neat it's still in the Mint cello.

AFAIK, the two things you mention do not look the same on a struck coin.
I saw an error in a mint set with the whole set "slabbed" in a sleeve by NGC. Not sure if PCGS offers the same, but I'd ask. Don't break it out.
Apparently, quality was NOT Job 1.
It looks like a ragged hole in Mr. Washington's head. The ragged edge is what I'm questioning?

Nice deep strike thru error.
I have a sac that is stuck thru string in mint cell.

You are 100% correct, ragged hole. That is one indication why it was not on the planchet.
Nice error, Congrats on the pick-up.
Nice find and still in the mint cello.....That would be worth slabbing and have some value to error collectors. Cheers, RickO
