Struck through a piece of cloth or fabric? You can see a fabric like pattern, the border would also represent where the cloth was raised above the face of the coin. That is my best guess. Edit - My 2nd guess is die sublimation.
It just has me baffled .. I agree that there is a cloth like pattern, yet any examples I’ve seen has the outline of where the cloth is, (the entire coin or half of the coin) where this is just on the body and just a small portion of the wing
Partial cloth? Maybe there is another explanation we are not seeing? Someone on here has to know!
That’s why I’m posting this lol.. trying to figure it out. As partial cloth is possible, it also has what seems an extra layer of metal (not magnetic) on body and part wing. I still have to weigh it to see if it does check out.. I don’t know of any +- variances and how close it needs to be .
I think variances are usually less than a full gram. Like .1 to .5 but I am just giving my best guess.
I’m almost at the point where I should just send it in and have it graded. See what comes from it.. just not sure if it’s worth it .
I would be really interested to know anything you learn about the coin.
I will share what I find out for sure...
Damn this is wicked mint error. I’d maybe send it for grading.
Remind me what year piece is this?
Give me 2 hours, (will be home from work ) and I will pull it out .. I didn’t have any front pics on phone so I don’t recall what the year is
It’s a 1972
Do you think it’s really worth the 65$ to get it “graded”? I wish there was someone that would be able to recognize the type of error or whatever it is ..
I don’t remember what the error is called I think it’s an alloy defect. But I could be wrong.
Put a magnet to it, And not magnetic material ..
