It is PCGS MS 64. Is that assessed as a strike through? It looks more like post mint damage to me.

Can someone more edumacated than me put the image in here?

    I'm thinking pre-strike planchet flaw/s.

    Looks like as-struck planchet issues to me.

    Looks like a planchet defect or a strike thru. Minor enough to still get a straight grade.

    Planchet flaw.

    Looks like a planchet flaw or rusty die... I am leaning towards the latter, appears to be some on the reverse as well... Cheers, RickO

    As mentioned in the posts already,
    it's a minor planchet flaw.
