WOW nice strike through,possibly wire/thread?. @paddyman98.

 

Nice. Whatever it is if I saw it in my yard I would kill it.

Very insightful

 

That's what I'd guess, but it looks kinda like some weird worm. Doubt that's what it is though, because it'd be a lot flatter.

 

calling @paddyman98 That sure is interesting looking. I would keep it.

 

Is it raised? To me it looks indented into the coin, like it was engraved.

 

Dentist's kid playing around with the dental tools and coins. Looks like damage done by a micro drill.

 

Really?if it was damaged i would expect to see the zilincon effect at least and there's no signs of displaced metal.

 

Damage

 

If that is all raised it would be an amazing strike through. It does go between the letters in Liberty without touching. If that's the case possibly metal from another coin that had been damaged and was still stuck in the chamber. But if all is below the surface then I'm not sure what could have caused it, especially since there is no zinc showing. The diff. pics are a bit deceiving.

 

Raised or incused? Hard to tell from the photos. Looks like threads or lint debris.

 

It's all incused...

 

Looks like it was struck through a string to me.
You can see the lettering underneath where the indent is which leads me to believe it was there when the coin was struck.

 

Then I’d say the planchet was damaged before it was coated with copper. That’s why no zinc is showing. That’s just my opinion.

 

Strike through for sure.

 

Certainly interesting, and there is another piece of it at the top of the hair

 

And the weight is?

The second image does a great job of showing that it is incuse.
The letters of IN GOD inside the incuse area wouldn't be visible if it were "dremeled". IMHO, it is not PMD but a very unique strikethrough.

 

Good find. End looks like a candykane.
