Here's mine!
Looks like a struck thru error.
Hal had too much time on his hands
Modified post mint seemingly to say "HAL". Hope you didn't pay too much for it.
Big ole blob of machinery oil. Or, a store card of "HAL R"

Do you have it? It could have been cleaned all the way off.
Looks to me like either grease filled or struck through, followed by commerce wear. If seen new, the cause would likely be obvious, but wear has blurred the evidence. Cheers, RickO
Someone named Hal might have used a dremel type tool for a souvenir.
survey says,
strike through or pmd but since i see strike throughs on these SO in frequently, especially big ones, i'll go with pmd from those images.
this didn't really help me differentiate. perhaps someone else seeing a lil clearer now.
Would the person named HAL R come on down!
Looks like grease, but There looks to be some lines going across, indicative of monkey business.

That was most likely a pocket piece that someone modified a long time ago.
