Did you try an acetone dip?
Only reason I ask is the details on the strike look pretty good. I would assume the details would be distorted if struck through cloth. But I could be wrong on this.

Did an acetone dip and did not remove anything. Just made it more visible if anything.

I think this cent was resting on top of a cloth and had a pattern transfer somehow. (glue, was wet, etc..)
Try an acetone soak over night and see if it comes off.

It's been soaking but I truly don't think it's anything that's gonna come off. And imo, if its a cloth pattern transfer from water, we would see that get posted all the time all over. And there would also be a lot more evidence of water too

I'm thinking that it's some sort of stain.
Errers and Varietys.

Struck through objects really seem to get embedded in the surface. This seems more superficial.
You might be able to replicate this pattern by soaking some burlap in Coke and letting the coin sit on it for a day or two.

The break in the T doesn't happen from a stain or coke on burlap either.  |

All night soak and still no change. It is not a stain you can feel the texture of the hatching easily

I agree with the above it looks like a stain/chemical change to the actual surface of the coin. Unfortunately pictures are 2D so it's impossible to tell if this is in the surface of the coin.
But the details, all of them, should be fuzzy looking for a true struck through. You would not see any sharp edges. But again, we are just dealing with 2D pictures.
Try xylene. Safe just like acetone but a solvent that can take off what acetone leaves behind.

So @earle42 if that's true then this listing isn't a struck thru cloth by your logic  |
