Is this an error from the mint or was it post mint?

The TPG says it was done at the mint, a piece of wire got between the die and coin blank. Your thoughts?

    I'm not seeing any signs of displaced metal so it looks like it's a strike through. Any signs of distortion on the obverse immediately across from the mark to indicate it was pressed or hit post minting?

    It appears to be a strike through... more magnification would be nice, but not really in doubt. Cheers, RickO

    Looks like a pretty typical struck through scrap.

    Whatever it is, it is distracting and a negative. It is a coin I would not buy.

    Yup. Struck through wire or string. Definitely a mint error. Not sure if it adds any value or how much if it does. A unique error such as this would have to sold at auction to determine its value.

    If it was a strike through, wouldn't the details on the wing and leaves end up on the wire and not the coin.

    Struck thru for sure, I think it's cool. It is unique :)

    Not completely. A thin, malleable object will end up molding to the die and you will end up with a less detailed image being transferred. [Think brockage]

    I could be a piece of string rather than a piece of wire.

    No matter what the material was, it is a strike thru.

    I don’t think so…..more like a chain! Easily adaptable but when required tough as nails……
