Check out the "R" in LIBERTY. I thought this was odd looking and just wrote off as PSD at first but went back and looked again and it looked more like it could have been struck this way. Nothing super exciting but thought I would get your thoughts on it. Sorry for the full coin pics, it's like taking a picture of the sun, just doesn't work!
Are you talking about the thin raised vertical line on the left side of the R?
I've always chalked this up to Planchet metal "sticking" to the die slightly as it pulls away from the coin.
Similar(?) effect to a spatula pulling away from freshly applied cake frosting at a 90 degree angle. The frosting will get bumps and ripples in it.
Cliff, thanks for checking it out!! There are what looks like two indentions in the west side of the "R" and then the raised area in the field that touches the R that you are referring to.
This is odd and interesting Jon! Never seen it before! I like Cliff's explanation, but wonder why just the R is affected? Could it be like a hot spot (like where the cake sticks in the pan when you're trying to get it out)?

Thanks for checking it out Viv!! It just doesn't look like PSD to me and I just had not seen anything quite like this before.
Cool looking... There are some hits on the BETY... On the Rs vertical bar the edges look raised and some what jagged so I am thinking PSD... Maybe related to the BETY hits??? The little area at the NW edge looks like some die damage... The edges are jagged like something hit the die and took a small chunk out???

Thanks for checking it out Jim!! I just thought it was peculiar looking and not quite like PSD but you may be right. If you want to eyeball it, I'll send it with the 2017P-005's?
