The marks under the building are Feeder Finger Damage.

Yep! FFD. (Feeder finger Damaged) What causes this? Feeder fingers are used to remove the coin from the chamber of the dies. But if this is a bit slow making this happen, the finger get struck:

This cents the fingers and as it is continued to be used, it scratches the dies. On side of the other, which ever way the fingers get bent.

This one may have affected the die that was over polished on this coin:

So when we see die scrapes that flow behind the devices, this should come into mind.

When polished out it affects the dies like this:

They can be mild:

They can be strong:

But they always flow behind the devices and designs.

After review of your pics and other searching YES John1 I agree with you. this definitely looks like a FF error. now the question is how do I get it certified with out grading it.To me this coin would receive a MS-64 to 66.thats a wild guess.

Pennyboy, why can't you condense your photos and messages into ONE posting, or at least fewer?
I don't think " Feeder Finger Damage" would be worth the PCGS expense. It is considered damage and has very little (if any) value beyond face.

Pennyboy: An error is an action which is inaccurate or incorrect.

Feeder Finger Damage is not "a rare error" it is damage.

FF is not rare and has little to no premium. Keep as a reference piece.

This-Is-Another-1998-Philly-Minted-Penny-That-I-Belive-Is-Double-Struck. with John1 & coop. It looks like Pennyboy1998 trying to get pictures like that. I've run across some of these also. I've kept some with pretty intense looking marks.

This is what I call a die event. The die was normal when it was starting to be used. A problem developed that scratched the die. Later they polish it out. and the die starts showing weakness on the devices/designs that were on them when the coin was new. No premium, just something to file in the memory banks as to what it is. You could save it to show to a new collector you inspire.
