Another 2003-D cent: Memorial Column indent (strike through?)

Hello everybody?

I've been busy and it's been a while since I have really searched through coins. As a result, I might be a little rusty. Out of three 2003-D cents, I found two of interest... of course. Here is one of those cents (I posted the other one just a moment ago).

This cent has an indentation on the 6th memorial column from the left (i.e. the column directly to the left of Lincoln's statue). That little indentation immediately made me think of a strike through. The texture of it sort of mirrored other strike throughs I've seen, and it has the same depth of browning as the rest of the columns (which made me think that it was not damaged since it has toned the same as undamaged parts of the coin). Not sure how reliable that is, though. I took these pictures at angles to catch the light and the re-straightened which is why they look a little tilted.

In addition to that, there was an interesting line running across the right field of the obverse. I can tell I am a little out of practice when I think there are strike throughs on both sides of the coin, lol. That line made me think of a struck-through wire. It is rather shallow. I wanted to get all of your takes and thoughts on it.




Let me know what you all think. Hopefully I can make a comeback soon and polish some of my skills a bit better

Looks like a Scratch on the Obverse . Reverse has that Funky column thing going on .
