    There is a line with some depth to it running from the second S in "States" all the way through "America." What would cause this?

    A ridge ring caused by an overused die. Very common. Save as a learning tool. Cost you one cent. Cheap education

    Exactly what @Heavymetal said, a ridge ring caused by a worn die.
