ErrorsRcool Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 01/29/2025 4:35 pm Hi all. I found this coin in spare change also. It appears to be struck through cloth. I'm thinking about getting this one authenticated and graded too, but is it worth it? Thanks again, Errors R Cool. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19118 Posts	Posted 01/29/2025 5:26 pm I'm thinking a 'transfer' issue. Perhaps the coin was in contact with a material which--due to the environment the coin and the material was exposed to--resulted in the transfer (imprint) of the pattern onto the coin's surface.

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 01/29/2025 5:37 pm Agree with stains as well. A common result of a coin in a car cup holder, they have a rubber/plastic liner which transfers to the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10484 Posts	Posted 01/29/2025 8:35 pm If it is a struck through then you should be able to feel texture on the smooth surface, if stain then no feeling of texture - let us know! Report this Post to the Staff
ErrorsRcool Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 01/29/2025 10:30 pm Hi Marve65, I do feel a little bit of a difference in the surface. If you look behind Lincoln's head, it looks like a thread, and I can feel that. Report this Post to the Staff

If there is not a distinct feel from the cloth pattern then that is just a stain unfortunately. Report this Post to the Staff
