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

  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.

  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!
