Just happened to me and I was surprised by the Grade.
Cool error for sure.

"Ever Sell A Raw Coin Thinking It Was Circulated Only To Buy It Back Later As A Graded MS Coin"
i'm sitting on a couple now i've been wringing my hands over wondering about. gonna have to get em out soon though although, never knew when a coin may go unc. that wonder about grading keeps the ferris goin' around.
i can see why your coin is AU61. a lot of high-end au coins venture into unc territory eventually.
Nice!
That much pressure from a cloth and they don't call it cleaned?
Nice error!
The flip side of that question might be, "Ever Buy A Raw Coin Thinking It Was Uncirculated Only To Find Out It Was Circulated?"
Sadly yes.
NGC is unpredictable! the rest of the coin is not better than 50, on a very sunny day IMO.
However,
HOW did the cloth get there? I have no idea how it is possibly a error??? maybe purposely mad "error"?
I am constantly amazed by the error coins we see here....I also wonder why a cloth would get introduced to the minting cycle.....Strange indeed. Cheers, RickO
MS61 is a rather odd grade. From what I have seen many of them did see some circulation.
fwiw, i think the term error is more akin to a coin leaving the mint outside mint-determined tolerances, not so much about the how.
Lance, that is a very flattering way of saying something like a Canadian court in the 60's I believe also said:
similar to: as if it is made in the mint, it is legal coin. In these days, smoke breaks were held outside the "back door".
still does not explain the fabric impression if that is what IT is.
just saying,,,
Coin presses are very greasy machines and operators keep a rag handy to clean up the mess.
A nice error coin @ErrorsOnCoins

Struck thru cloth errors are one of my personal favorite error type coins.
Another first for me is that I picked up 2 in less than one week, here is the other one .....
Pretty timely, FDR with a cloth face covering.
Haven't sold one as raw and come back MS but I've purchased several raw commems that I thought were circulated and had them graded and come back as high as MS64
