  Looks like a strike-through to me, but it might just be a deep scratch AKA Post Mint Damage.

  Looks more like a gouge from a scratch as it dies off when ever it hits something in its travel path.

  Tough to call from the pic.
  I have a very similar looking struck through error for comparison.
  Hope it helps

  Sorry I don't have any cents here's a strike though on a proof... looks like it was wire.

  Generally a strike through means that there is something on a planchet right before being struck. Damage to the planchet such as scratches, dents or gouges generally doesn't qualify as strike throughs.
  
  Here is an example of a coin struck through a small sliver of wood.
