AT214,
Bought it raw years ago for, let's just say a bargain. Submitted it before PCGS's crazy error fee.

Ok... can someone explain how a "struck through cloth" could happen?
Did some poor technician get too close to the press and sacrifice part of his shirt?

Or a piece of cloth from a rag used on the machine. Sometimes I wonder if they are just playing around? But it doesn't take a large piece to get in the way. Images are enlarged, so it could be as small as a dime.

From what I've studied, Mint employees routinely wipe down machinery with cloth, to get grime and grease to a minimum.
Sometimes, cloth gets caught between the die and planchet and so...a struck through cloth error occurs.

From your theory I picture a timer of 15 seconds that they have to get in and out to wipe the dies down and some poor tech hauling butt out of the press area and leaving a rag behind... Quote:

Actually, they wipe down often..even while machinery is running.
Generally this type of error occurs when a piece of cloth (small,medium,large) is caught between the die and planchet to be struck.
Accidentally or on purpose..one will never know.
