The default seems to be incused not rise. Please confirm.

A die damage procudes rise element on the coin.

If the default is incused, the error could probably a strike through something..

It is raised. In photo 4 of my first post the line that touches the bottom of the N is raised. In photo 1 of my first post the two lines, by the N, that are reflecting the light are raised.
I didn't think it was struck through something because the lines continue on the other side of the N and E but don't impact the letters themselves (see photo red arrows show continuation of lines on the other side of the letters)
I found 6 identical coins in the mint roll.

Ok thanks Enyaw. Nice demonstration.

It wasn't clear to me if it's raised or incused from the original pictures.

So it's definitively a Die Damage.
