2022 Quarter - Die Scratches?

Feeder Finger Damage.

I think FFD, the striations are all perpendicular to each other and are only on the high points of the die. Whether vertical or horizontal, there HAS to be a mechanism to push in planchets and push out struck coins. I cannot see a planchet just falling into place perfectly every time without assistance of some kind.

I'm going to stick with FFD.

Dear you are wright about an mechanism to push out the coins from the collars band. they are like small pistons with relative soft kind of rubber and every second coin strike is push out of the collar. I do not see this piston could made this.

At one point I put here a photo of the polish die lines when they cancel a Die and the lines on this coin fit the marks. This it is my reason to believe if is the Working Hub polish lines. Others examples I saw 2022 the lines was in the same place. Will be almost impossible an feeder finger will let traces on multiple coins on same place and also an feeder finger damaged will not be use for two coins strikes.

Also the back lines behind the ear and the begin of the 2022 are not parallel and no feeder finger will be so large on the sides.

Could be also another reason for those last modern coins errors or varieties. Those are to new coins and must be more studies on.

Cujohn, The presses do not have anymore feeder fingers from 2000, when the horizontal presses was start to strike.

In the hypothesis of feeder fingers, the lines will have this orientation ? on 4 mm large ?

I trace the orientation of the lines on the OP photo
