theking13 Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 10/09/2018 3:33 pm I've seen cloth marks on a coin, but this one has quite a few. If it's cloth marks, would this be a coin to hold on to? Thanks Shawn Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Bedrock of the Community 10197 Posts	Posted 10/09/2018 3:40 pm Cloth? Not quite. On stinkin zinkins these can be one of two things, a linear plating bubble, trapped gasses eroding under the copper layer or as you have here, "feeder finger damage" The mechanism that puts the coin into the chamber was out of sync and scraped across the die face creating those straight line gouges. It is a "mint error", but as has been said before, "Don't quit yer day job"! Ya haven't won the coin lotto with that one. Save it as an example now you know what it is.

theking13 Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 10/09/2018 3:47 pm Very cool! Thanks for the information; I really didn't think it would be an error. I'll put it away with the other Stinkin Zinkins -(never heard this term before) Lol Thanks again for the education :) Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Pillar of the Community Canada 4953 Posts	Posted 10/09/2018 3:50 pm Crazyb) nailed it. Feeder finger damage. Here is a photo of another 1996 CENT with the samefeeder finger damage. Note marks are in the same area as on your coin. If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you. Edited by JimmyD 10/09/2018 3:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 12950 Posts	Posted 10/09/2018 4:23 pm Nice find theking13! That's a good example of Feeder Finger Damage. I would keep it. http://www.error-ref.com/die-scrapes/ Errers and Varietys.

theking13 Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 10/10/2018 09:35 am JimmyD - that's crazy that your coin matches with mine; they are like brothers! Errers and Varietys - thanks for the link and the congrats with the find! Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2413 Posts	Posted 10/10/2018 10:38 am Yep, certainly feeder finger damage, not worth a premium. I don't think I know what you mean by cloth marks, maybe struck-through cloth, but that has an extremely different look to it. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 14463 Posts	Posted 10/10/2018 11:07 am By cloth marks I believe he is talking about the linear plating bubbles that are running perpendicular tot he feed finger damage. Creates a "criss croos effect that looks a little like cloth weave. Gary Schmidt Report this Post to the Staff
josephm99 Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 10/11/2018 11:43 am theking13- Now that you mention that the coins look exactly the same, it very well could be from the same die. Report this Post to the Staff
