Die gouge

 

Now that's cool. (I think) Can't quite tell from the scope pics but it looks like it could be a huge "linear die dent." @mikediamond might wanna take a look at this one

I would think it unlikely that a die gouge would be so perfectly straight. I'm thinking that it is more likely to be a strikethrough from some strip of metal.

Don't think so, the devices are not effected. I say linear die dent because I've seen large ones like this that mike has called them as such. If this was in the fields instead of under a device I might think strikethrough as well.

 

Though it's under the letters where as a strike through would over the letters

 

Unusual to say the least.

 

Not really. Looks like it took a hit and pushed metal outwards that then folded in. The first coin in this thread is the unusual one

 

I have a penny with a similar error. i thought it was feeder finger marks but Mike Diamond said it is a linear die dent

 

Sent this one off to Wexler. His official opinion is 2016-P IL Shawnee 25¢ that has die deterioration doubling on the obverse. I'm not sure if I agree with this. I just want to show you this ORT cracks, notice the lettering is not disruptive in this crack but it is definitely a crack.

 

What would you call this one?.

 

I personally was wondering where the copper filling went.?
