Fred, ask to have the mint remove those paper towel holders next to the machine, and have the mint employees stop wearing scarves.

 

"A vast array", most "unidentified".
Quote:
"A vast array of foreign material — much of it unidentified — gets trapped between dies and planchets. If it falls out of the coin (the usual outcome), the resulting depression is called a “struck-through” error.
Objects that leave consistent and easily recognizable impressions are generally more desirable than irregular impressions. Within this subset of patterned impressions, coins struck through cloth hold an elevated status.

When a piece of fabric is struck into a coin it leaves a distinct weave pattern. A typical impression covers the obverse face of a 1964-D Jefferson 5-cent coin that was sent to me some time ago by Alfonso Chio.

Cleaning rags?

It has always been assumed that the fabric is derived from rags used to clean dies and coinage presses. While this is a reasonable supposition, it is by no means a given. After all, how many rags can you recall that have fallen apart into large pieces?"

-actually, it would depend on the material. It's very common to see foreign objects affect some devices and not others.

 

None of the vast array of material available
at the Mint is actually on any of your coins.

Sorry.

There's a vast array of meteorites on the surface
of the earth, but the rock I just picked up isn't one of them.

 

some people just want an "atta boy" congratulations and a pat on the back and have no room for anyone's opinion.

 

@i2i everyone here would like to help you, but you have to be wiling to learn. So far you are only seeing what you want to see.

The key word in the above quote is depression into the coin.
None of the coins you posted have any sort of depression.
They are finger prints, environmental damage and plating blisters.

 

my guess is that it could have been pressed on a brushed planchet

 

It looks like our resident Troll is back. Seems like every 2-3 months he pops up trying to stir up trouble. @i2i another addition to my Do Not Respond list.

 

@i2i

ZACKLY!

I couldn't have said it better!

Hey @cpm9ball
On earth people get hemorrhoids..
What do people in space get?



Astroids!

 

Chris - glad you liked my comment.

Took me a second or two to think up
a good analogy.

 

Mr. P!

An "error specialist" walks into a bar.
The bartender refuses to serve him.
The error specialist refuses to leave,
so the bartender calls the police.
When he refuses a lawful order,
the police take him to jail.
In court, the judge finds him guilty,
and orders him to perform community service.

 

Sometimes, Fred, even a good analogy flies right by them. Never take these people dove hunting with you!

Ok well then what you need to do now is send it in to wexler's spend the 5.00x 3 yep 5.00 per penny =15.00 + 12.00 x2 =24.00 for insurance both ways. 1st of the 12.00 + cost of postage 15.00 + 2ed 12.00 + 1.50 for the money order in side the padded envelope with your coins to have wex look at it and say thank you for the 15.00 bucks and all you have is 3 old Penny's that are now costed you 40.00+ dollars and that are only still worth a penny good luck to you

 

One pic illustrates the cloth design imprint in the lapel. "In". Thanks for your opinion, though. Group mentality won't change that ALL strikethrough cloth will not look like the extreme case. I've posted a quote and source, if you need to understand it better.

 

Wow, it's like I just stepped into a wasp's nest.
Why are you people so upset? I only see jealous people so upset.
I made scholarly contributions with sources and that's it.
Dont be mad.

 

Meanwhile, my references and quips go right over your head.

I'm sorry you dont like intellectual discussions.
Why so angry over the facts? You have to learn to deal with your anger in more positive ways.

 

No I fine thanks I am sorry you just don't see that all you have is old Penny's look through like 100.00 dollars worth of Penny's and keep all that you think is strike throughs you'll end up with a mountain of Penny's that are just old penny's nothing more
