<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 4068873, member: 1859&quot;]I see no indication this coin was struck through cloth.&nbsp; The fine parallel lines are simply the original streaky surface of the planchet preserved by the relatively soft metal of the die cap.&nbsp; As for the curved ridge, I don&#039;t know what it represents, but it doesn&#039;t look like any folded cloth impression I&#039;ve ever encountered.&nbsp; It shows every indication of having been struck through a late-stage die cap.&nbsp; You get all sorts of weird textures and topographies in such errors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
