  interesting for sure. I assume you think it was a dropped L from Liberty? However the shape
  is just a bit off and I can see why you did not get the dropped error.

  It probably is, but determining for 100% sure is difficult.
  
  Understandably, PCGS felt the same.

  Dropped letters are clearly indented into the coin; does this coin have an actual indentation, or is it just a variation of the luster? If it is just on the surface, most likely some grease struck through, but if indented, then should have a chance at it.

  As I look more closely at the photos, does look like there is indentation...

  It was struck through something, as PCGS determined, but it doesn't look at all like what a dropped letter should look like imo.

  I added a few more photos.
  
  I agree, PCGS had no way to determine 100% what caused this strike thru.
  
  One more thought, the portion of the strike thru that points upward looks like it could be the lower portion of the L in LIBERTY.
  So if it is a dropped letter the L would have flipped once from left to right.

  Here is one i found a long time ago in a roll. I did not think PCGS will put anything on the holder for it or i would of sent it in so i tossed it in a box.

  OK error specialist, this anomaly does not look like your typical dropped letter, but suppose, just suppose this was the next coin to be stamped with a trace of the dropped letter stuck to the obverse die?
