Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 3:45 pm That is pretty cool. Haven't seen one of those. So you think that was on the planchet before it was struck? Or are the marks on the die itself? Report this Post to the Staff
timsumrall Pillar of the Community United States 1256 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 3:54 pm Think in negatives. The devices on the working die are inset so not easy to scratch. The large fields on a coin are the highest on the working die and easy to scratch. Edited by timsumrall 02/29/2012 3:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 5:00 pm I think timsumrall said it best. I don't think it's Feeder Finger Damage. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 5:33 pm Feeder Finger Damage is on the die and transfers to the coin. That is what it is. Report this Post to the Staff
DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 7:02 pm This one is unusual, most Feeder Finger Damage I've found run top left to bottom right. Report this Post to the Staff
