Clarence Thomas' Liberty???

Is Clarence now working at the mint?

Looks like a pubic hair was on the planchet. I don't think it is a scratch because part of it seems to still be there.

The top most "mark/line" seems to be above the coins surface. It was hard to image. The bottom image shows it best, casting a shadow or reflection.

Is this something PCGS would grade as a mint error and if so, would it be worthwhile to submit?

    struck through thread.

    a piece of lint from a mint worker's rag stuck to the die during a wiping.

    What a stretch.

    What's on your mind DuPapa?

    From the replies I'll assume it's not worth submiting and my humor is feeble.

    It's OK DuPapa, 'progressive' posting has its place in a small corner here on the forum!!!

    I would hope that was struck through thread...thought people had to keep it clean in the mint.

    Maybe we can call the milk spotting silver eagles "Clinton Eagles". You know Lewinski's dress, etc. Tit-tat.

    I like the struck through pube. Would make a great story.

    Most likely a piece of thread, I would imagine this is very uncommon for this series.

    Don't they inspect every single coin struck?

    What's Clarence Thomas got to do with this? Are you referring to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas?

    The reference in the OP title completely eludes me... makes zero sense. Cheers, RickO
