My census shows that both dies may exhibit Feeder Mechanism Die Damage beginning in the 1950s. Today the Reverse Die is the Hammer Die and the Obverse Die is the Anvil Die. Shuler Presses have been used since the mid 1990s and all Schuler Presses have this inverted die installation, according to the US Mint. Most Schuler Presses are horizontal stroke with only about 4 of the Philadelphia Schuler Presses with a vertical stroke installation. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2776 Posts	Posted 04/14/2026 12:47 am Got another LWC example for you Pete. This looks like the same degree and direction as the 57D I posted earlier in this thread. https://goccf.com/t/483763 https://goccf.com/t/489450 "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

This will be the only 1955 example I have for my census! Thank you! If I had known about this a month ago, it might have been a candidate for inclusion here: https://coinweek.com/feeder-mechani...2%89%881990/ Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6763 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:05 pm Ran across these two 1944-P War Nickels tonight. Both are up for auction from the same seller. I assume that they are from the same roll, because the pattern of gouges and die dots is pretty much identical. Is this some WWII Feeder Finger Damage? https://www.ebay.com/itm/237017765700 https://www.ebay.com/itm/366617067423 Edited by Brandmeister Yesterday 9:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3349 Posts	Posted Today 7H 34M ago I have not seen anything like that before! Suspect it may be! Report this Post to the Staff
snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted Today 1H 36M ago I've had this one in my "other" collection for a while. Assuming, from the direction etc, that it is probably die scratches, as opposed to FFD. But, thought I'd show you - just in case! Report this Post to the Staff
