Kinda looks like the mast thing. Yeah we can see it clearly now. And it looks raised. Think mint damaged. Might be an only one in the universe. @Rick Stachowski. Think this member might shine some light on it.

It look like a die break. Was it raised or incused? Maybe struck through some sort of small metal?

 

I was thinking the same. Struck through.

 

It's glue . which made an impression when the coin got struck .

 

I'm glad I finally got a pic that you all could see it with

 

Thank you everyone

 

Raised

 

So is this coin struck through or a die gouge? I don't doubt either scenario but I am a little confused and just want to be sure of what to look for. You are saying a piece of dried glue fell onto the planchet before the strike but the OP says the line is raised.

 

Try removing the glue with acetone( soak it for a few hours).

 

Tried the acetonefor 2 hours and 20 minutes but it's still there

 

I got this next pic at a magnified different angle

 

Oh yeah, definitely looks struck through to me.

 

Struck through for me also. Indeed, it was a nice one (Boat Paddle) .

 

Is this a common error?

 

Yes, struck through is common. If you can get it to the right collector, you might be able to get couple dollars for it.

 

looks like a buoy in that shot ...

 

"Very interesting". Wish I could remember the movie or TV show that quote is from with a Dracula like accent.
