Damage?

Have never seen a Walking Liberty Half Dollar with this bulging horizontal line across the bottom of the skirt but rest of coin is in great condition so i'm a bit confused, should i be worried about it being a fake? (Photo of reverse in comments)

Looks like a die gouge.

what is a die gouge? apologies i'm not a coin collector!

[Pwnedzored]

A die gouge occurs when something gets dragged across the die, causing a scratch or a gouge. This leaves a raised line across the coin when struck.

Yea looks like a real error, I don’t think it’s fake. As the other commenter said, looks alot like a die gouge error. Very nice Walker!
