SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/02/2015 2:45 pm Can't be a broadstrike - the rim is full. It got squeezed so hard, postmint, that the coin actually elongated. Not possible in a Mint press, if the collar is in place to form the rim. Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 08/05/2015 12:16 pm CCC , in a way I think you are correct, cloth , possibly denim , covered the obverse of this coin to leave those patterns. What may cause confusion is that "Struck through cloth" normally refers to the event happening at the mint and as the dies stike the planchet. On this coin it happened outside the mint Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 08/05/2015 12:28 pm It is PMD, not struck through cloth. There is no cloth pattern to be seen on the coin. Whatever happens outside the mint is PMD, no matter what is done post mint. SsuperDdave got it right, read his explanation. Report this Post to the Staff
