had chalked this up to PMD weeks ago when I first came across it, but wanted to put it to rest and check with the experts
did my best to photograph it from slightly different angles to show play of light off obv area of interest [washington]
thanks for your eyes and your opinions ✌

PMD
gahh - figured - thanks - gotta keep 👀👀👀
Yes, I agree, PMD.
PMD, I think someone started engraving it and never finished it.
thanks @ErrorsOnCoins @relicsncoins
abrasion
Looks like it was rubbed on a concrete sidewalk or similar paved surface based on the crisscrossing scratches.

An important thing to think about on errors is how they occur and if that is feasible on the coin in question.
Ask yourself, would a strike through just happen to only appear on the raised surface? Like it just happened to be the shape of George's profile....
No.
So PMD. Perhaps a belt sander!
If it was a weak strike it would be weak on both sides. Definitely pmd.
righton - def why I wanted to provide images of both sides; also what made me question how it could be a striketgrough, but again, I know little to nothing abt this, which is why I asked 🙂
really appreciate all the help in learning
However, if it was a struck through grease (it is not, but if it was), and the reverse die was clean, the reverse strike would likely look hammered. Something to consider.

PMD.
I agree with the consensus...PMD....Good pictures, it helps others to assess the issue. Cheers, RickO
