Hello,
Would anyone know what this "error" would be called, if its even an error. I don't believe its a scratch.

Thanks!

    From your picture it looks like a strike-through.
    Maybe a tiny bit of wire or string adhered to the die.

    Maybe struck through a piece of string?

    Not struck thru string - that would leave a much
    different appearance.

    I think it's struck thru a thin detached piece
    of metal, possibly the shaved rim from another
    coin.

    Thanks for all the comments! Strike through has it! Wire is my guess maybe from wire brush from cleaning die....just a guess.

    I would trust 99.99% of what FredWeinberg told you as Fred is the one of the leading experts in error coins. That handsome rascal has even been on TV!

    Its kinda fun to think I found this just looking at my change! 1975 to 2017 and I find this error nearly 42 years later. Sure is fun!
