Potential Strike-through Cloth?

Hey All,

I'm new to this site and not sure if I have something or not. Could be a strike-through of cloth, though all the ones I've seen online had a different pattern. Please help if you can, I'm sorry for the crappy mic pictures, my daughter pulled on the cord to my laptop and broke it. Let me know if these pictures aren't that great and you need better ones.

Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the forum! :)

    When a coin is struck thru cloth it disrupts much of the details on a coin, here are some examples in this link.

    Yours isn't struck thru cloth. :/
    It is a little hard to tell from your photos exactly what is going on with your coin.
    My dumb guess would be some type of toning from improper storage or environmental damage.
    It could also be a defective planchet.
    Sorry I don't have a better answer for you, maybe another member will be able to help more.

  • Thanks for replying! I was counting the views and wondering if my question was so just so awful that nobody wanted to answer it, lol. I am about a month into the hobby and have come across some easily debunked "flaws", but this one has me thrown.

    I thought maybe it was conveyor error, but that mainly happens on pennies. Then I thought maybe it was due to a vice, but it's perfectly around the coin and doesn't lap the rim.

    Oh well, maybe someone else might know.

    Thanks again! - Paul
