It sure looks like the obverse die had Feeder Finger scrapes that were transferred to the coin during the strike. These are really interesting to me. Nice coin, thanks for posting it!  I recently found a Roosevelt dime with the same scraped look to the reverse. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Die Polishing Lines or Feeder Finger Scrapes.
Errers and Varietys.

Learned something new today. I didn't think that Feeder Finger Damage got below the die surface. But in Dr. Coop's image library was a nickel that clearly shows lines inside of Jefferson's face, which is deeper on the die.  |

I read that same post from COOP, pretty awesome stuff regarding Feeder Fingers.

Fair enough. That patch inside the ear is still within the highest point of the bust. But you're right, the recessed area might still be closer to the level of the field than my brain wants to perceive.

Quote: I didn't think that Feeder Finger Damage got below the die surface. that area where the FFD appears is the highest point of the dies and get scraped by the feeder fingers if they get tagged by a descending die and getting damaged. |
