[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3630499, member: 84179"][USER=86437]@Fred Weinberg[/USER] [USER=92083]@JCro57[/USER] [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER] , I was wondering the same thing. The probability of it happening must be incredibly low. A planchet would have to be wrapped in the cloth AND make it into the die chamber while being pushed by the feeding fingers. Plus, will it even fit in the chamber Also equally improbable IMO is a two piece scenario where cloth is stuck in the die chamber, while a piece of cloth managed to get on the top side of the planchet. I can see where there could be struck through grease on both sides or other small debris such as sites or metal filings, but cloth is difficult to envision. However, with the billions of coins minted every year, even low probability events could happen. But the chances of finding one would make the lottery odds look like a sure thing:D[/QUOTE]
