Quote:2018-P dime, field restricted strike through on both faces, probably grease spread by feeder fingers: https://goccf.com/t/489162 The current terminology is feeder-applied strike-through. Mike left the old terminology on error-ref. "Minor "feeder-applied struck-through errors" are present in the field to the left of the eagle's right leg (viewer's left). These errors result from a gritty paste applied to the die face by the feeder/ejector, typically affecting only the field. We previously called these "field-restricted struck-through errors" (Coin World, November 18, 2013). Mint Mishaps: Four Quarters Show Trans-Strike Damage, by Mike Diamond May 27, 2025, CoinWeek LLC. Copyright © 1995-2025, Silver Springs, Florida https://coinweek.com/mint-mishaps-f...rike-damage/2018 was about the time Schuler Presses began using Dial Feeders and the frequency of feeder-applied skyrocketed! I am thinking NOT a coincidence! |

Thank you for the information. Yes, please use the image for any purpose you wish. I can upload a clean image of the OBV and REV if you want them. Again thanks for the information. I will save this information to my coin error references. Thanks!

Also have this 1944 P. Still trying to remember were I placed it, lol, but this may be possibly caused by the feeder mechanism.  |

I think we still do not have enough evidence to state that these are feeder mechanism scrapes, but I am thinking they are serious candidates. I would really like to find more Buffalos for comparison! |

I think this one will need to be compared to others from nearby dates. So far, I have seen none! I have found others with only a single feature like this and it did not become clear that they were Feeder Mechanism Scrapes until a found others with the same scrape but additional scrapes beside the one. |

Will keep an eye out for buffalos with FFD now. Any speculation on where the scrapes would show on the die, based on the feeder mechanisms in use?

In my article, I focus on 2 mechanisms. I think the most likely is the one patented in 1909 and that suggests they could be anywhere! If the number of examples I have seen is a reliable indicator, they are quite rare for scrapes. Those I am thinking are die dents (not scrapes) are a bit more common.

Ok, noted. Not quite as easy to identify as 21st century FFD on nickels, but I will pay more attention now.

Quote:Not a 2018-present FFD coin, but I believe this 1994-P nickel is a pretty good example from the 1990s: https://goccf.com/t/489384 Thank you! I will add this to my Census! |
