Hi all. Is this anything other than a couple die gouges? They seem to be shaped like one of the flutes on the column and are raised. Thought I's ask before throwing it back.

Thanks, Mike

It appears to be die gouges. I would still hang on to it for a cent as it is a good example.

Could that be from the planchet feeder fingers?

It seems to happen quite frequently in the area shown. I've never seen the tooling to make a comparison on whether it is caused by a planchet feeder.

The planchet feeder scratches the die. Leaving marks on coins struck after that till the mark disappears.

They could be marks (gouges) left on the die by feeder fingers that then transfered to the coins being struck. It's a good thought!

That's a side view of the light repair man's ladder.
